2.0

I’m pretty neutral on 90% of this book (it was just boring and lackluster to be honest), but I was hoping the book would redeem itself with a good ending and I could give it 4 stars. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken because I absolutely hated the ending. If we could all just stop using sexual exploitation, p*dophilia, and r*pe for shock value that would be great!
