4.5
This book is very good overall, but some of the sections in the latter half of the book felt like they didn't really have a purpose. Still, the main character, Vanessa, was excellently done. This is a very powerful narrative, and something that people should read. Just make sure to check the trigger warnings first, because My Dark Vanessa is about pedophilia and grooming, and it can be hard to get through.
