goldensisyphus's review

This book is not about consensual nonconsent, it is not sexy. It is literally about rape and brainwashing, and everyone -literally everyone - fails the female main character. It is the epitome of what is wrong with everything everywhere, and is exhausting and depressing as all f*** to read. It did nothing but disgust and anger me.

Mostly sexual assault and bad bdsm boundaries. I Hope no one is using this as actual bdsm practices.
