Check trigger warnings before reading this book. 

1 loved the writing style. 

The story is sadly nothing new, the whole blesser and blessee lifestyle is very dangerous our high school students are being subjected to this type of abuse (yes it's abuse). Even our president has taken notice of this dangerous epidemic. 

The mother deserves jail time. 

I hated the victim-blaming and sadly that's how a lot of South African families are, our children deserve better than "she was forward".
