The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

Go to review page

1.0

Really disappointed in this work from Michaelides. Sexual assault, grooming, and pedophilia were clearly thrown in for shock factor, but to the point where they were normalized and undeveloped. Not only that, but this entire work contributes to a significant societal stigma that those who experienced child abuse are doomed to become abusers in some way themselves.

Disappointing and irresponsible, particularly from an author with a background in studying psychology.
