DNF @ 82%

first part of the book? great. fun. i liked it.

second part of the book? oh. ew.

the protagonist is a psychotic little bitch who manipulates a 'uwu softie Im very normal and boring' old man. also the writing style is literally that of a 15yo i dont know what i expected. Also, so much sex. Like, so much. This is literally porn.

i read this for the pure reason of how absolutely depraved the main character is, and was interested to see if maybe she would develop feelings or remorse over the course of 250 pages. shocker, she did not. i wanted to give up after 20 pages, but was so interested to see if there was an underlying reason as to why this was written in second person. did she kill him? did she finally escape her mind and left him for better??? nope!!! cycle literally repeats by the end, and not for the better. soooo bad.

jesus christ. i thought there was going to be a STORY here but this was just 249 pg of repulsive pwp erotica. the final "big scene" was so disgusting i literally retched. i love when horror books are depraved and disgusting but this is so far beyond horror. go to jail
