Sex & Violence by Carrie Mesrobian
3.0
From the "Final Thoughts" portion of my review:
Sex & Violence is a doozy of a novel — powerful, intense, a breath of fresh air and not a book that you can just read but are FORCED to engage with. I loved Evan’s POV — brutally honest, snarky & full of pain — and I really loved, as painful as it could be at times, watching his growth and arc in the novel. It tackles some tough things with an honest voice and offers up a lot for the reader to digest. On a reading experience level though, my enjoyment/connection to this novel kind of unraveled 3/4 way-ish through and I never regained the kind of level of FEELINGS I had in the first half. But I still think this novel is brilliant if that makes sense?
