And honestly, that's not a million miles from how I felt about this book. On the one hand, I was utterly absorbed in the story. On the other, now that I've finished it, it feels like it was a hollow read.
Also, speaking of miles… The metric/imperial measurements in the translation are weird. Short distances are given in metric, but temperatures are given in imperial. What the hell? Like, I can figure out feet, but I have no clue what 104º means (nor do I care).
Anyways, I'm not sure I needed to read a cis man's take on the rape of teenage girls, actually.
CW: Brief but explicit description of rape told from the perspective of the victim. And then repeated references back to that scene.
