I gave all my thoughts on this one in the sapphlit zoom chat. Four stars because it wasn’t something I could thoroughly “enjoy” because of how traumatizing and dark and visceral it was. Fuck the police. Fuck all the men who placed their dreams on the shoulders of a little girl and then BLAMED HER for turning to sex work to support and uplift said dreams. That girl never did and never will get justice. And she is just one of tens of thousands of real life girls in the same situation. God. This author is incredible. And wrote it so young. Cant wait to see what else she does.
