A review by hauntingpineapples
Damsel by Elana K. Arnold

2.0

I understand the purpose of SOME of the graphic content, but was very surprised to find it so bluntly in a YA book without any warnings from the publisher. The flow of prose was really good, and for that, and only that, it got two stars. The story itself is unnecessarily graphic (definite trigger warnings for sexual, emotional, and physical abuse) and I knew the end "twist" a handful of pages in. Disappointing overall.
