“surprisingly screwed up and brilliant” as charley says. this perfectly describes how i feel about “my Dark Vanessa”. It’s provides insight on a survivor so deeply manipulated’s point of view on the abuse and the repercussions decades later. it’s profound and dark and disturbing but gripping. this is such an amazing read and it will stay with me forever
