I don’t know why there are so many good reviews of this book, but I feel like I did when I read CMBYN. Have we all read the same book?? The amount of rape and nonconsensuality in this book is alarming, and it kinda terrified me. Some of the concepts were interesting, but the writing style was extremely confusing and the main premise of this book is not good. I wouldn’t recommend someone read this without knowing what they’re getting into first, and especially don’t read this if rape/lack of consent/etc is triggering.
Triggar warnings include rape, attempted rape, dubious/lack of consent, slavery, grooming
