⭐️3.5 or 4... idk
I was curious so I read Playground...
First of all... idk what I feel about this book. A rollercoaster of emotions.
Second of all...I don't think this is my genre.
Was it as bad as social media made me believe? Not really. Despite the obviously very disgusting parts and extreme discomfort I felt due to what happens to the kids (It is very SAW-esque), this book was very well written and I will never read anything from this author again.
