Being unhappy implies that she has a capacity to be happy, but she does not have the right to be happy.

This is the best book I have read in a long time. It is a representation of having a narcissistic partner, and how your sense of self is tied to their perception of you. This was a powerful and challenging read that makes you question what it means to be a human with free will.

Vivid depiction of Annie being trapped in a closet with her libido set to 10. She is in agony until she lets her battery die, and as a result has some sexual trauma. She is then left in the closet for 7 weeks.

Very controlling and emotionally abusive “partner.”
