4.5

An incredibly well written tale about life, love, and self-hatred. The main character is a pretty terrible person and a wildly unreliable narrator, both of which make Arsim a fascinating individual to follow in the story!

Content Warnings

Moderate: Child abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence

The main character has a sexual encounter with a person he believes to be 17 or older. 17 is obviously not of legal age. It is quickly revealed that the kid is actually 14. Main character does face a lot of consequences (prison) for the interaction. It is NOT graphically described.
