I started it this morning and finished it this evening.
It's such a gripping read, much like Iris you're drawn in, then as the heat and tension mount you're compelled to watch the inexorable conclusion.
This book says so much about coercion and abuse in a range of relationships, and the heartbreaking amounts people will knowingly tolerate to feel a connection.
There's also the morbid fascination and fetishisation of both the abused and abusers by those outside the group.
The writing here is so good, I was swept along, and the heartache I felt for so many characters. Brilliant book.
