I really enjoyed this book but feel it’s completely misrepresented by the blurb and review quotes.
I went into this novel expecting a sexy queer bridget jones style novel but the book is really about an abusive relationship. The sex scenes become uncomfortable and the novel becomes quite upsetting as we see the main character falling deeper into the controlling relationship.
That being said I really did love this book and thought it was a poignant portrayal that was funny in parts and entirely original. I really can’t wait to see what Davies writes next I just wish I had more of a clue of what I was getting into as it suddenly became quite triggering at times.
