Absolutely the worst book I have EVER read
I should have done more research on this book before buying it because this is definitely one of the worst books I have ever taken the time to read. I never leave reviews but I have to warn y'all. First off, the main character is an insufferable little rapist who fetishizes mental illness. He raped Naoko and the author writes about it as if it's totally normal and is consensual, but Naoko was having a full breakdown. Second off, the way the women are written is completely unrealistic; it's as if the author has never actually interacted with real women in his life. And finally the part that made me want to burn this book, Naoko's roommate and the main character begin to have a conversation about the roommates first lesbian encounter, which happened to be with a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL!! And it just gets worse from there! The scene made me sick to my stomach because it's written as SMUT with so many details as if it's meant to be a turn on to the reader?? I don't even want to donate this book to my local thrift shop because I don't want anyone to have the chance to read this absolutely disgusting book. It's very clear that this book could only be enjoyed by a man who do not think of women as real people, just sex dolls. Because that's exactly what the author thinks. I'm very disappointed.
