Distressing at times, triggering at parts, but on the whole a very memorable and thought provoking book.
My Dark Vanessa pushes the limits on moral boundaries and bravely tackles controversial subjects while engaging the reader with a blunt yet powerful writing style. It gripped me right from the beginning, and has been stuck in my mind all the way to the end - immersing me in the world of Vanessa Wye.
An amazingly powerful book.
