A darkly feminist revenge story that looks at desire, gender roles and consent and how this factors in to modern misogyny.
A really good read that makes you consider how many people are hiding behind a mask. I’ll certainly be wondering for a while about whether the men I know, if they were given a chance, would join The Paters.

This was so so much more disturbing and deeply unsettling then I thought it would be, but it was like a train wreck I couldn’t look away from in the best way possible
