I have a question to ask.
what. in the absolute fuck. was this?
I literally cannot find a polite way to say that this book was absolute trash and I'm kind of concerned for the writer's sanity, NOT A SINGLE novel in this made SENSE. The first one was the most socially acceptable, but truly was a waste of time because wtf is that ending. The second one, better than the first, but come on- a serial killer cat? The third one, you lost me at the smut with the teacher, read the ending directly... yeah no thanks. I don't even want to know about the fourth one.
The content was lacking, the characters were bland, every single man was a piece of trash/abuser/animalistic and in the whole, it was unnecessarily crude. The only good thing I have to say about... this fucking thing... is that it's well written, and that may be why I couldn't make my mind about this book until now. Definitely not my cup of tea.
