This book is NOT for everyone! Check the trigger warnings.
So, why did I give it a 5 star because I am still thinking about it MONTHS almost a year later. Is it the best thing ever written, no. Is it a classic, no. However, it will leave an impact on those who can brave through the book itself. It is very, very, very raunchy. There are ALOT of kinks that most people, including myself, would NEVER explore. But, I think the idea of the book and the scenes in question are what leaves a lasting mark upon the reader. It makes you question your morality when reading it. There were times I closed the book because I honestly didn't know if I could continue. Overall, I was able to finish it, and it made me feel anger for how the relationship played out. It made me blush, made me say, "What the f....". Honestly, can you say you read a good book if you aren't at some point feeling emotions or questioning what you read?
