C’était vraiment dérangeant, mais d’une bonne manière.

Pour le coup, l’image de la sexualité à l’adolescence mêlée à une société de consommation pornographique giga violente m’a tout simplement dégoûtée mais c’était bien fait.

Contente de l’avoir fini.

i liked it... but, in the beginning i couldn't read more than 3-4 pages.
girizgahı yavaş gelmişti ama sonra hoşlandım.

Lovende start, så blir det kjedelig lenge og ender med en skuffende slutt.

I read this when I was 17 (a long, long time ago), and I can't recollect a lot other than that I really disliked it. A lot.
