It’s a slow-burn horror story about a man grooming a fourteen-year-old girl over the course of three months, what happens with her friends and family in the three days she’s missing, and how she and her loved ones continue to suffer in the months after what happened to her. The jacket copy makes it sound like a thriller, but it’s not. The increase in your water bill will be worth it that month.

What makes it so horrible that you need to scrub half your skin off? That it’s deeply rooted in truth and events that have happened to children across the world.
Want to Go Private ? can be really graphic at times, yeah, but that isn’t quite what I mean. Heck, you might need thorough showers while reading it alongside your usual showers in hopes of feeling clean again. This is the kind of book so gross that you need a shower after finishing it. 5/5 stars – Horrifying and disgusting and difficult and PERFECTĮw ew ew ew ew ew ew.
