rosierivets 's review for:

My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

3.0

I am so very glad to be finished reading this. I can't tell how I felt about it. It was frustrating and awful, but also, why so much detail in the sex scenes? I'm not sure what the point was. To make us feel...what? This quote really stuck with me, though, to make me question my own thoughts on the whole story: "But if someone doesn't want to come forward and tell the world every bad thing that's happened to her, then she's what? Weak? Selfish?" A hard book to recommend to anyone, that's for sure.
