Reply to comment by frozenfountain in What subject matter is so ghastly / triggering that you won’t read a book that delves into it? by jenna_grows

I read a book called Tampa. I thought it was going to be a fictional psychological exploration of why women abuse teen boys and how it’s portrayed so differently in the media. Sort of a “reverse Lolita”. NOPE. It was filthy, horribly written smut. The author was a woman but it would have fit right in on r/menwritingwomen. Execution definitely matters.

If you’re still interested in something like that, you might try Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller.
