Hòstia santíssima. Havia llegit coses dures, però sempre sabent que partíem de ficció. Però això no ho és. És fàcilment el llibre més dur que he llegit mai. Explica la història de la pròpia autora, el seu despertar sexual i la seva primera relació sentimental als 14 anys, en aquest cas amb un escriptor de 50 anys, conegut pedòfil, i com aquesta relació l'ha marcat tota la vida, com li ha costat establir relacions sentimentals sanes amb homes, com li ha costat deixar enrere allò.

I, un tema segurament secundari, però l'ètica dels editors que publiquen els textos d'ell? Textos reconeguts com a reals, no una ficció, textos en què es descriuen relacions sexuals amb menors per sota de l'edat de consentiment, textos on es parla de turisme sexual amb menors, textos que inclouen cartes escrites per menors... 

Per cremar-ho tot

A moving story and a compelling case for both holding famous people accountable and for enforcing the age of consent. The prose is very straightforward and the book moves through time quickly, which builds a strong argument for the conclusion of the book, but ultimately the writing style just wasn't my favorite.
