Back at it with the sad girl lit. This was so immaculately written and was such an engaging analysis of human nature, relationships, and the concept of power play in sexuality. I thoroughly enjoyed the character’s inner monologue and how she struggled to justify her actions and inconsistency in her beliefs. The intricacies of her relationships were tense, provocative, and yet so elegant and carefully considered. Really made me think about my sense of moral compass, and the loyalty we feel towards people who give us a perceived sense of power.
