Graphic: Sexual content, Violence, Adult/minor relationship, and Incest
This is not what I was expecting. I liked the first half and then it got really weird and not in a good way. A really disturbing sexual relationship between a 50-something woman and 15 year old boy. Not a fan.
There also is zero tension for most of the book. The MC runs away and manages to escape any consequences or danger. Not as good as I was hoping. The rating is for the concepts, which I thought were interesting.
