major TWs for this book!
an important book that illustrates the complexities and evolution that come with being a victim of abuse. a tough, heartbreaking read that grabs hold of you from start to finish. this book is fictional but the story feels all to real as it highlights the reality that a large portion of men are pedophiles. didn’t think i would like this book as much as i did but it ended up being one of the most profound things i have ever read.
