William Morrow My Dark Vanessa

good

I really loved this book.

Such an insightful depiction of what grooming entails and how it appears. He singles her out, makes her feel special, and tells her how mature and unique she is compared to other girls her age. My skin literally crawled when he was telling her she's in charge. You, as the reader, can obviously see and hear through the disgusting, predatory stuff he says. Still, you're also viewing it through the perspective of a 15-year-old girl and a traumatized, maladjusted woman with a crater inside her that he left. And Jesus, she portrays both so horrifyingly well. She's a young girl; of course, she loves the idea of being special and of a teacher liking her. She's unable to see his gradual testing of boundaries and revealing more of his pedophilic nature as he determines it's safe and she's under his control. And she so frustratingly is. An excellent, eye-opening 10/10 read. So well written. But I don't think | will be able to pick this book up again. it made me think of the lyrics in hard times by Ethel Cain... "I'm tired of you still tied to me" "Hide me there under the leaves. Nine going on eighteen" "you're still the good guy I'll make pretend." "I was too young to notice that some types of love could be bad"

Llegó en excelentes condiciones, nada maltratado y con su plástico. Bastante rápido de igual forma. Me muero por leerlo🤍

Tudo, recomendo!
