There’s a lot going on in this book and it would make for a great book club selection with much to discuss. I haven’t decided fully yet how I felt about it but I have definitely thought about it a lot while reading and since finishing and probably will for awhile yet. I think this book wanted to provoke conversation and shed light on the harms done by sexual predators in schools and I think it succeeded at that but as many reviewers have said it’s also a challenging, confusing, maybe somewhat elitist read that I read two articles about after to make sure I’d understood it. So I dunno. I’d suggest checking the content warnings, and also deciding if you’re up for a unique somewhat challenging structure, before picking this one up…
