I am not sure how to feel about this book XD
It's dark, explicit. There's a lot of gory details, masochism. The characters are unreliable, manipulative and gaslighting. But there are somethings I liked about the book. The way the FMC'S sexual desires and her sexualizing gaze is not glossed over by the author, almost like a role reversal, where it was mostly men's gaze and desire for women. I also liked how the author did not give them (the characters) a sudden realisation and pull them out of their downward spiral.
Overall, I believe that is a very realistic work (except for some parts).
