There’s a lot I want/can say about this novel and after sitting with all my feelings/emotions about it the last week, I decided to split this essay into two, because there’s so much more than just the content piece for this novel. There is a whole other aspect that demands to be talked about. And we’ll get there. But for now, I want to talk about the takeaways from a novel centered around sexual abuse. A novel that is reminiscent of Lolita, and yet… not.
