I will be very blunt. 

I read this when I was 15 (too young, I know), and even at the time I could not believe that a grown adult wrote this. It reads like a bad fanfic written by a teen. 

I am not even going to get into this abusive relationship depicted as romantic, and somehow desirable. Shameful.
