Holy hell. This story is so disgusting. The author did an amazing job writing such a horrible, sociopathic character. Celeste is completely, utterly repulsive. Every single aspect of her is revolting and the fact that we got a first POV makes it even worse because we're literally in her head when she does all this. I had to skip a lot of the explicit scenes because it was just too much. I found myself shaking in anger at times. I really wanted there to be more repercussions so the ending was a bit disappointing, but I'm sure it reflects how a lot of trials go for pedophilia and rape.
