My Dark Vanessa 

#Book_Review #William_Morrow 

*There’s nothing else to do but start from here, with the gentle pressure of the leash in my hand, the clink of metal and click of toe nails on brick. Ruby says it will take a while to feel truly changed, that I need to give myself the chance to see more of the world without him behind my eyes. I’m already starting to feel the difference. There’s a clearness, a lightness.* Please please give me more tissues because i can't stop crying, this novel is very psychological stressful ,very hard to read and understand. This story is not unusual, this story is about harassment, rape, psychological destruction, everything that is disgusting. I can't describe my feelings , i have a mix from everything. Vanessa OMG OMG Vanessa, i don't know what should i say to you, you break my heart into million pieces , you are a little tennager who suffer from Neglect, lack of interest, lack of love, loneliness and many other things that are difficult to describe. So it's so easy for you deceive by any asshole who shower you with any interest. Strane charachter is so disgusting but he also have reasons to be that man, because of his fucking mother, i am not giving him reasons but i said before that Happy childhood is the foundation of a strong personality. Dear Kate Elizabeth Russell you did an amazing and great great work, you touched my soul with the way you wrote this novel and how you describe Vanessa feelings specially with Ruby. The Black and White cover is incredible. Dear every Father and Mother all over this world please please please take very good care for your childrens , shower them with love, kind, Containment and listen to them because the consequences of neglect are serious. Do not make them search for love outside the home, do not make anyone distort them psychologically because this effect never goes away no matter what happens. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book description:  Exploring the psychological dynamics of the relationship between a precocious yet naïve teenage girl and her magnetic and manipulative teacher, a brilliant, all-consuming read that marks the explosive debut of an extraordinary new writer. 2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful forty-two-year-old English teacher. 2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenager—and who professed to worship only her—may be far different from what she has always believed? Alternating between Vanessa’s present and her past, My Dark Vanessa juxtaposes memory and trauma with the breathless excitement of a teenage girl discovering the power her own body can wield. Thought-provoking and impossible to put down, this is a masterful portrayal of troubled adolescence and its repercussions that raises vital questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. Written with the haunting intimacy of The Girls and the creeping intensity of Room, My Dark Vanessa is an era-defining novel that brilliantly captures and reflects the shifting cultural mores transforming our relationships and society itself.
