• I found this book for a discounted price and had to pick it up because 1) lately I’ve been loving memoirs and 2) it’s blurbed by the author of My Dark Vanessa which is one of my favorite books.

• I was mesmerized by the writing from the first page and I quickly fell in love with the author’s words.

• This is such an important book that explores the topic of “daddy issues” and the children affected by it. The children that end up feeling unloved and have no parental figure to guide them in their lives and how that desperation for attention leads to bad situations and bad people.

• I already knew going into this that it would be a heartbreaking read but some things were just absolutely revolting. It made it even more difficult to read about knowing that this was a real thing. The horrific people mentioned in this book were real.

• I saw some criticism on the writing of this book and people that claimed that it was too “flowery” but I absolutely loved it. It possibly has to do with the fact that I myself write in a “flowery” style but I love purple prose and I’m a sucker for a good metaphor and & unique imagery so it wasn’t a problem for me at all.

• I’d highly recommend this to anyone that loved My Dark Vanessa or is looking for a book with beautiful writing and a lot of lessons to learn.

3.5

A moving story and a compelling case for both holding famous people accountable and for enforcing the age of consent. The prose is very straightforward and the book moves through time quickly, which builds a strong argument for the conclusion of the book, but ultimately the writing style just wasn't my favorite.
