No plot. I feel like the entire book was just written for shock value. But I will give props to the author, the main character was a psycho and you could really get in her head through the narration.

This book nails the goal of being creepy, skin crawling, and real. I hated EVERY SINGLE SECOND of reading this book, and I ended up having to take MULTIPLE DAYS between certain parts because the contents are just that visceral. It was truly terrifying to see how REAL everything was, how REAL the ending was, and how manipulative and EASY it was for the FMC to do what she does.

CHECK. YOUR. TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!!

easily one of the most disturbing, absolutely disgusting books i've ever read. i was shocked by how brazenly honest it was. it truly felt like i was in the mind of a pedophile and like any normal person, i hated it, and yet i kept reading because Nutting is such a compelling writer. i'll definitely be feeling very weird for days to come after this one, yeesh.
