This book is honestly a masterpiece. The story is horrible in a gripping and beautiful way. Kate Elizabeth Russel has created something that could be on its way to a classic. It tells the story of pedophilia from the victims perspective taking a turn on lolita which is a massive reference in the book. I hated the relationship but it made m love the book more. You should read it, it's changed my viewpoint.
