What My dark Vanessa is like to read
A claustrophobic, first-person spiral through a survivor's own rationalizations — the 2000 timeline seduces with the heady thrill of being 'chosen,' while the 2017 timeline forces every memory to be re-read as harm. Devastating not because it shocks but because it refuses to let Vanessa (or you) off the hook. Best for: readers who want a morally complex, interiority-heavy reckoning with grooming and the unreliability of memory.
