My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

5.0

This was a heavy read, as the book handles an inappropriate relationship veiled in a fictional setting. This felt so real, I had to keep reminding myself that this story is fictitious. What Vanessa went through is so complex and sad. Vanessa is manipulated and gaslighted over and over, all the while she has convinced herself that she is equally faulted throughout the entire book. I usually don’t read books with this kind of content but I’m glad I finally read this. Such important commentary, but don’t go into this lightly.
