My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
5.0

check the TWs before reading this book!!
i prefer to warn everyone because some scenes are really hard to read (lot of descriptions, etc)!
however, my dark vanessa is a true masterpiece. an incredible and necessary book about consent, manipulation, ped0philia, traumas, lack of love and attention, need of validation, traumas's consequences on people, and how people struggle with post traumatic syndrome.
it's kind of hard to talk about this book because of the effects it had on me, how it impacted me and how it can easily resonate into some people (it did with me honestly).
the entire book is amazing, whether it's the beginning (how it all started) and the present (how she's dealing with her past and the consequences of it) and also how she considers herself (before, during and after it all happened).
anyway, please read this book !!!
