Girl…. This was something… and this was a lot.
The setting and the pacing of this book and overall layout is different to conventional books, it’s fun, which I enjoyed!
Idk if it’s because of the way I downloaded it but the authors name and the book title weirdly appears in the middle of almost every page that caught me off guard sm times, idk if it’s downloaded error or something but I got used it midway so that’s fine.
The plot…. Ugh the plot.. deplorable. So tragic and just makes you question and shake your head at humanity honestly.
There’s this spectrum in which sex is written and viewed in books, it’s either realistically romantic and spicy or realistically degrading and abhorrent. And it was very much the latter. At least that’s how I felt. Just needed a shower and the strong feel to be celibate.
Tragic character/(s) but such an interesting rabbit hole of a mystery. The way it kept unfolding really had me gagged. Just overall, the plot ATE.
If you’re a person with a ding dong, going to read this book? I highly suggest you mentally prepare for it because the detailed scenes of violence sometimes became too much for me and I can’t imagine how you’d feel having a wiener.
Honestly, this ATE. I finished it in a DAY.
