My Dark Vanessa

This book gave me chills. Men grooming young kids is way more common than you know.
I think this book was tastefully done, although I can see why this book would trigger some people.
As someone who was groomed by an older man at a very young age, I can appreciate Vanessa's perspective. I had no idea I was being abuse. It took a therapist weeks to get through to me what had happened. You are so well groomed that you still repeat the same things they told you to believe.

Vanessa handled things quite well even with all the self destructiveness she did to herself during the time frames.

The book follows two time lines, one when she was 15 and aging through school and college and the present day.

The book was well written and well researched. I do feel there was something missing. The pace could have been a little faster.
