5.0

i feel dirty giving this a 5 star review, but i also think that it deserves nothing less. it does it’s job perfectly; it makes you uncomfortable while still drawing you into the story, and is so very beautifully written. while there was a constant pit of disgust in my stomach, i enjoyed finding all the moments where the true nature of the “relationship” shone through HH’s unreliable narration.

I almost DNF this book but stuck it out and boy… once i did…. you can’t help but feel sorry for the professor but then you realize what he’s doing and who he is and you feel for Lolita.
