Uf quin puto fàstic 😭
Storygraph m'hauria avisat dels tw d'abús sexual o jo almenys podria haver vist que es categoritza com a horror, no ho sé. Podria haver explotat qualsevol de les 152 crítiques socials que explica, però sembla una fascinació per la violació i la submissió (entre altres bestialitats, és clar...).

Tant de bo no haver-lo llegit, la veritat, quin mal rato.

I, for want of a better word, enjoyed this book. It's a heavy read and I'm not 100% I fully understood what I was supposed to take away from it but I was very intrigued and absorbed the entire time.

This book drops us into a bleak life and world that you wish was completely fictional, but you know is too many women’s reality. It is a hard read but having people to talk to helps to work through it and find meaning in a book filled with dread.
