What the actual f*ck was that?

This book made my stomach physically hurt and it was genuinely distressing so many times. There was no point in which I said to myself, “I know exactly where this is going.”

With each new part, I was wondering if I was supposed to be entertained or introspective or confused. Really the only thing I was able to piece together was the profound bits that made me go “wow, that is absolutely some real life sh*t women deal with on a daily basis,” and I know that’s really the point here. Men don’t deal with the same scary things that women do and aren’t forced to face the public and their criticisms if they want any justice for the crimes done to them. This is an alternative view of this world ( a really weirdly written one).
