I had a hard time getting into her narration style and just got to the point where I was feeling obligated to keep reading vs wanting too and there are too many books on the tbr for that. Not in relation to my DNF decision, this book has a lot of heavy tw.

It is because of this book that I read back in 2003, I read and write BDSM today. It was my first D/s (or S/m) novel.

goldensisyphus's review against another edition

This book is not about consensual nonconsent, it is not sexy. It is literally about rape and brainwashing, and everyone -literally everyone - fails the female main character. It is the epitome of what is wrong with everything everywhere, and is exhausting and depressing as all f*** to read. It did nothing but disgust and anger me.
