pickThis book is beautifully written, but I felt like I needed a shower after it. Lamb, who is 54, see Tommie who is 11, one day and begins a relationship with her. It is creepy, hypnotizing, and I felt for this girl. He takes her to a cabin seducing her, but not touching her, for 20 days. In that time someone else shows up. The creep factor was high on this one, but it was so beautiful I couldn't stop. *shivers*
I am almost finished, but I gotta say this book is making me feel creepy even reading it. A modern day Lolita story written by a woman, but as creepy as Lolita was, I feel a bit dirtier (so far) with this one. A 11 year old girl and a 54 year old man story of "seduction." The writing though, oh it is so brilliant! I almost finished it in one sitting, but I am too sleepy to keep going.
pickOMG this book is not fair! So crazy tense until the very freaking end. GAH!! 😁😁😁
