I wanted to like this book so much... yet, once again, the advertising was better than the work. I barely managed to finish it.

Nothing happens for 300 pages and then there's too much action, yet somehow I am still looking for the catharsis.

I hated this book. I hated everything about it. Every single character annoyed the shit out of me. I hated the way it was written, even though my visceral hate from literally page 1 is proof that the writing is good.
Pretty much every type of SA/r*pe is covered in this book. It was a lot. I hated it. Am I mad I read it? Kinda. But I don’t regret it. Maybe I do.
