Bewildered.

How can I say I liked a book about a fictional description of a older male teacher grooming a 15 year old student? While there are quite graphic depictions of sexual assault which are quite jarring, I feel like this ended the way I really needed it to. That’s why I can say that I liked it. This book is truly like holding Vanessa’s hand and being witness to her trauma and unraveling and understanding. This book will NOT be for everyone. But, this author wrote a damn good novel.
