I think the blurb and the subject matter and the perspective sets the reader up to accept the narrative as truth when that really robs it of a much more nuanced and complex understanding!

It jumped off the page to me immediately, how clear it was that this is a neglected, powerless teenager, desperate for some facsimile of love, affection and control over her world. She’s not the femme fatale she wishes she were, she’s just a child desperately trying to get what she needs, as no adult has ever given it to her. And sadly, the best way she’s found is via her sex appeal to a man with a twisted desire.
