I don’t like how much I enjoyed reading this book. Enjoyed is maybe the wrong word, it makes you feel disgusting when you read it… Definitely, don’t put yourself in a situation where people are going to ask what you’re reading lol.
But the writing was fantastic, and it was kind of amazing to be put in that mindset for 300 pages. At times I even found myself feeling bad for Celeste.
Although I had to take breaks while reading it when it got really graphic… I can’t help but see so many positives. But I cannot in good faith give this book 5 stars, because I am a little concerned that a writer could write this, and not share some of the thoughts that were written
