This book was really good but in a way that made me wish I hadn’t read it. Georgia is a queer teenager discovering for the first time how to wield her sexuality to get what she wants from men. The reader gets to look on in abject horror as Georgia walks right into the gaping mouth of a trap set just for her before she realizes the kind of power she has over men isn’t empowering at all. Massive trigger warnings, especially for sexual assault.

Although a book of heavy subjects, this was an incredibly quick read, that admittedly felt at times easy to predict - I would have loved to see more closure for the protagonist at the end.
