Alisson Wood tells the story of her grooming and eventually abusive relationship with her high school english teacher, she discusses the story of lolita and how her partner happily viewed their relationship as similar to Dolores and Humbert’s. It’s a good read for anyone who has experienced grooming or abuse, I found it helpful to be able to hear a similar story to my own and know that following this she has still managed to be successful and happy. It’s a heavy, sad story and you definitely have to be in a good head space to read it.
