My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

2.0

Difficult to read as it is from the perspective of a pupil abused by her teacher and in denial about it. We see every step of the grooming process as it happens although she is made to frame it as her being special. The predator does not get his come uppance and of course has done this to others. I wanted to stop reading as it was uncomfortable, but we should not shy away from uncomfortable. This happens and people should not only be aware but feel empowered to speak out on their own or victims behalf. So cant say I liked it but it is very worth reading.
