Ooof this one was hard to read but still so good!

Not for the faint of heart or prudes. It was incredibly crude and suggestive, but really about how your fucked up childhood can follow you into adulthood.

The writing, despite the explicit sexual scenes, was beautiful and I enjoyed the characters and general plot, even though some of it made me cringe.

I was originally going to give it 4 stars, but the last part where
Rose has the nun killed
made me happy so I bumped it up a half star for that.
