3.0

I hate the main character in this book, she’s been using people to accomplish her ambition, and most of her victims don’t agree with the way she treats them. This book shows how crazy, sick in the head, selfish, and heartless Irina is.

I hate how she manipulates people and her life and takes their kindness and love for granted. I want to puke every time i read her pov and how she justifies her actions. Her intrusive thoughts are also so wild and harmful. Reading this book is torture because as the stories come to an end it becomes more lunatic.

Irina is a photographer, who took nude photos of men in their most vulnerable way (when they were in physical pain and being tormented) most of these men didn’t know they were going to be used like that, and most of them were also being portrayed without consent. When they try to oppose, Irina always has so many arguments to make those men conceive her way.

This book just showcased selfishness and ambition to the next level, brought to reality because of the influence of Irina’s trauma as a victim of grooming and how her mother treated her.

at the end of the day, someone who isn’t fully healed and accepts her past, hard to see kindness or show kindness to other people in the present moment.
