These Violent Delights by Victoria Namkung

2.0

This book is not well-written. There is lots of dialogue that sounds nothing like how normal humans talk, and every character sounds the same. The romance between Ben and Jane was also unnecessary and distracting in what was otherwise a pretty tightly plotted story. I would actually like to see the author write a long-form investigative journalism piece about institutional coverups of sexual misconduct, but as a novel this book does not work. On the plus side though, I have to give it points for being timely and a page-turner, and for being another voice for survivors.
