This book was extremely well executed, I love the way it shows the effects of SA and pedophilia. I love how disconnected the prose is to show the characters mental state, how she doesn’t understand happiness and how she describes people not being broken like she is and unclean. I also like the descriptions of being a walking husk and just flesh and skin to be used. A very good read and I quite enjoyed it,I also found it interesting her sleeping with people as an escape and using the very thing that caused her trauma and how she started partaking in the abuse toward other children, so she wouldn’t be abused anymore.
