3.0

This book gave me literal nightmares when I first started reading it. The writing is so vivid and the concept so realistic that the horror comes less from the gore or sickening TERFs and more from how this world that’s written about is not so far off what we have now — snarling, rape-y men included.

Make sure to check the trigger warnings!!!

I found it quite jumpy at times and was not expecting it to be as smutty as it was. That’s biggest gripe. I feel like so much of this story could have been told without the sex (I don’t love smut in any of my stories fwiw). So if you’re not a smut reader, I would not enthusiastically recommend Manhunt. 

Fran and Beth and Robbie and Indi’s internal stories were heartbreaking and they all deserved better in this shitty world.
