I had heard a lot about this book, so was really excited to read it. I don’t know if it was just that the audio book narrators were horrible actors, or what, but I really didn’t enjoy this book. It had very little plot and so much violent sexual content it just made me uncomfortable. Perhaps it’s my fault for not reading the content warnings, but I was thoroughly disappointed in how many red flags there were in this book.
