I started this book loving it, but by the end felt quite sad for the main character.  Julia thinks she is on some sort of sexual awakening but completely fails to see she is being mistreated and massively gaslighted for the entirety of her controlling/coercive relationship. 
The book isn’t for the prudish as there are quite vividly written sexual scenes relating to BDSM and kink, which at first seemed quite funny but as the storyline progresses, become more uncomfortable to read.
