This book infuriated me, probably because of the injustice of it all that Louise O’Neill meant to educate and display. A tough read that should be held with many trigger warnings and quite graphic but can be educational in rape culture and all that surrounds it.

This book is probably the only one that makes me so sick to my stomach. It has a chokehold over me and the imagery is absolutely brutal.  I give it a 5 because of this chokehold . The worst part is that it is also believable. O’Neill did a good job, but i never want to read something like this again
