Honestly, I knew before starting this that this book just wasn't going to be for me. I read [book:My Dark Vanessa|44890081] earlier this year, and I knew the subject matter of this book, and I knew it was going to be difficult for me to get through. And I definitely wasn't wrong.

There's a part of me that understands that this is a culturally significant book, that it's making a commentary on society, etc. etc. There's just something about a man writing a story about a pedophile that really just doesn't sit right with me. With My Dark Vanessa, I feel like we got more of a nuanced conversation about the power imbalance in a relationship like this. This book...definitely was not that.

Either way, I can at least say I've read it! And it will make an interesting conversation tomorrow at book club!
