Inspirerend. Eerst vond ik het redelijk repetetief, maar dat werd beter naarmate het boek volgde. 

Dit was de push die ik nodig had om ook te zeggen: ik ga stoppen!

It was good. But the audio was not super well done. 
I appreciate that people relate and find it empowering and stuff. And I think it is good to talk about sexualization of minors. 
But for me it was just fine. So yeah

I feel very meh about this. This book is very hyped so don't know what I expected. The characters are not very well developed. The narrator is basically a f-boy for Achilles and has little personality. The writing is quite flowery, which is fine. And the narrator of the audiobook was very good... So that's something. It was fine, but didn't do much overall. It gets some hype because it is gay I guess which is fine.
