The actual story was pretty good, but it dragged on too much. Could easily cut 150-200 pages.

This book also focused way more than I would like on nipples and public hair. The sex scenes also reads like someone who has never seen a woman. I don't get why there even was sex scenes in this. I would appreciate if this author never wrote about women again tbh.

The ending also dragged down the story for me. I wish we never got an answer to the mystery. Would have had a much better impact.
