4.0

This was my first banned book I have ever read. It was difficult for me to get through the way the main characters mind works. She has some seriously gross thoughts, and it honestly triggered me a couple times, having been molested as a child myself. Of course I went into this book fully knowing the triggers, so that is my own decision. I can’t bring myself to give this a 5 star read simply because it unsettled me so much but maybe just that should be enough to give it 5 stars.
Do not read this if you cannot handle the darkness of humanity.
