Pretty decent book, liked the plot twist towards the end, but the writing is somehow both convoluted and simplistic. 

One of the best pieces of writing advice is to trust your audience. And while I appreciate the spoon-feeding to a certain extent, there comes a point where it’s a bit excessive.

Overall, I recommend reading it. Just not at the top of your reading list.

nadiajanai's review

There were zero content warnings  about the graphic and honestly disturbing sexual descriptions in this book. I tried to bypass the first few thinking it would get better, but they started showing up several times per chapter. The author uses the expression f-ing throughout, which is excessively vulgar. I wish I had a heads up before beginning this book. The premise is so intriguing, but the content is offensive.
