Didn’t love, but didn’t hate this one. Without giving any spoilers, this book had very problematic themes surrounding abuse, captivity, and manipulation, but these themes can be reasoned away given the… lifestyle?… personality?… experiences?… of one of the characters. Not my usual read, but definitely interesting!
