Anyway, just finished it. Not sure I would recommend it to anyone, a bit too trauma porn-y and I have an allergic reaction to dominance in relationships so found those bits very frustrating, but the writing is quite good, it's not boring and it certainly does get an emotional reaction out of you.

Noo, that's just me having the morning grumps and being too tired to explain things. I relate to the feeling of alienation and how it can eat away at your self esteem even when you try to hide it behind icy haughtiness (like Marianne) or silly humour (like me). And then how that causes a disproportionate feeling of gratitude when someone notices you for who you are, and the difficult social dynamics, and how all those issues can get in the way of love and intimacy etc. I think she nailed that. I didn't really find it trauma porny and I thought the dominance stuff was integral to the story, but it frustrated me too
