This may be an extreme and even glamour filled version of a reality that happens everyday to millions of women, especially BIPoC women and young women. Millions of us have been/are being assaulted (myself included), and probably just as many or more of us are beaten and brutalized and victimized and gaslighted by men, especially men with power, money, and influence. It doesn’t even have to be a lot of any of the three - so long as it’s just a little more than what we have. This story is my story. It’s an exaggerated version, but it happened to me under different circumstances. I also suspect the entertainment industry is probably as toxic as written. Bravo to Tiffany Jackson for writing with courage and gentleness and for killing off a character who should’ve been raised differently and could’ve brought so much beauty into the world if he had.

It was a great book, but it was truly hard to read because of how in depth this book dove into very triggering topics. Please, please read the trigger warnings of this book. The MULTIPLE sexual abuses that occur in this book are very graphic, in-depth, and are really the focus of this book. Many people will say this is a thriller/horror novel. What makes it so horrific is the depth of which all the trigger warnings are explored/written about/talked about. It’s an important read, but very, very traumatic. So please… read the trigger warnings, and if you’re someone who’s suffered from domestic/sexual assault/abuse please be cautious because such topics are explored in GREAT detail. Great book, but again, it’s an extremely hard read… especially as a survivor herself.

Please read this book only if you are ready to. It is extremely heavy, and deals with many difficult and triggering topics.bookish_alyssa's review against another edition
