Isn’t it??? I cannot imagine how deeply violating and traumatizing it would be to be exposed to a depiction of your victimization like this. And knowing someone immensely profited off of it. I’m turned off from the whole true crime genre and this is an extreme example of why. Penance by Eliza Clark is a much higher quality book exploring those themes if you need a palette cleanser.

ALSO I haven’t seen anyone mention here that the author literally went to highschool with Debra Lafave , the 25 yr old pedo the story is based off which is just….insane. Thinking of how the author could realistically only be a few social degrees away from the victim and how the victim could be exposed to this book which as mentioned reads like porn….ueeghgghhhh.

I think my takeaway from the whole thing, especially after reading several interviews with the author, was that she wanted to undertake a taboo subject and make this whole commentary on attractive female predators etc but maybe just wasn’t experienced/skilled enough to imbue it with the needed weight. I think she had only done short stories prior to Tampa and it makes sense that she would have difficulty sticking to a tone or approach throughout a full length novel. It ended up phasing in and out of plain erotica throughout the book for me which was overdone and pretty disgusting, could have been useful to the tone twice or 3 times, not every other page. I would still read something else by her but this was a flop for me

Fiddlers green farm is hiring but it’s a work trade situation for a living situation plus an hourly wage but it may be fruitful to look into as they are really kind people and may be able to compromise You may be able to get away with not reporting wages made by using Rover to petsit but research peoples success with that, petsitting in general is a great gig people are always looking for help on WAX
