A shocking morality tale masquerading as a passionate love story. This book had me absolutely hooked and I gobbled the last 135 pages up in one sitting. Absolutely breathtaking. Nuanced characters, shocking twists and a derisive cry against the status quo of the time that still rings now. I only deducted a half a star for the ending. It was a bit of a bummer. Otherwise, an excellent, sexy and shocking read.
