Superb! This book is about a famous author named Paul who is captured by his number one fan Annie Wilkes. The relationship between Annie and Paul is abusive, and Annie wants Paul to write a book to revive the main character of his romance series, and goes to extreme measures to get her way. Though, one thing I’ll say is the ending felt rushed. But overall, a fantastic book.
