Stunning. The way the author dived into topics without it feeling like I was reading a non fic was exceptional. Nothing was lost in the sense of the main character. Like losing her power etc that’s very common amongst women protagonists. The plot was good, character development good and the way she had her friendship and her love was so refreshing
Graphic: Vomit, Body horror, Torture, Misogyny, Death, and Confinement
Moderate: Sexism
