This book made me surprisingly sad. I REALLY liked Vera, so it was extra brutal to read of the torture at the hands of The Slob. 

The situations were fucked up and twisted, Vera is a great protagonist, and it was a pretty well written story (although, I will say, at times it feels like it’s written by an angsty teenage boy, so it’s not the best, just by no means bad).

I would give this book a higher rating if not for the ending. It was immature and stupid.

It’s interesting to discuss the system where girls are being handed to The Slob, but a group of gay men? For a purpose of being more feminine? Huh?? And there was so many awkward attempts in humor within the group when they didn’t have “product” for the crime lord that didn’t fit with the rest of the book. The shift in tone didn’t make sense and wasn’t well executed. The more I think about it the more annoyed I get. I fee like the author made a joke of his own book and I can’t fathom why.
