Floppy disks but also a Taylor Swift song reference? I am confused on when this takes place. Also very graphic.

3.0

gripping and well-written but jesus was it depressing. the torture porn was why I DNFed this the first time but for some reason I decided to try again and just power through?  I kind of wish now I hadn't! I consume a lot of horror but the volume and depravity of sexual violence here was toooo much
