I own a copy of this book and have picked it up to start it multiple times over the last decade but never made it more than a few pages. Little did I know, approximately one page after I stopped each time contained the first hard GRAB of the book.

This book is interesting and good, but makes a quick turn from amusing into dark territory. Difficult to listen to at times. Trigger Warnings for sexual assault, domestic violence, child sexualization, and Animal Cruelty.

So beautifully written. I’ve never read a book by this author and I feel like I need more! A fast but meaningful read, and always love a good twist.
