This is a classic situation of I should have read this vs listening to the audiobook. Just a heavier listen. If that's your thing, go for it
I would have given this more stars as I truly do think this was wonderfully written. I am just having a hard time getting past the fact that she was 8 when this all started and by 13 they were practically having sex. The ending also bothered me that all was just well and felt so neatly wrapped given the complexity of this entire book/situation. Also the twist at the end — wtf why was that even significant? Was that to help humanize a pedifile? Nobody should feel sorry for someone who grooms little girls no matter how “mature” they seem. GROSS! IDK why someone would be okay with even writing about this.
I wish there was more relationship development between Sophie and Benedict but I do love that there was a lot of background on both of the characters.
