4.0

Degrading, disturbing and utterly FUCKED up. Reading Dennis Cooper's "The Sluts" is an experience all by itself. It mentions few of the most triggering and taboo sexual fantasies which leave the reader with unsettling thoughts so profound that words are not enough to describe them. At last the unique format in which this novel is written will make you continue reading until you find all the answers you were looking for. 4 body fluid lathered stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

PS :- 👨‍⚕️ 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
