Dear Miss Metropolitan started out with an interesting main character and storyline but I found it to be deeply dark and disturbing. The style of writing, short chapters, mixed with reports, images, etc, made it challenging to stay with the narrative. Overall, it was an interesting book, different from what I typically read, but it was too painful to enjoy.

The stream-of-consciousness writing style, along with the changes in narrators, made this book a bit challenging to read. However, it was well worth the effort. Although the story is horrific and heartbreaking in so many ways, there is so much love and tenderness in it as well. It may take me a little while to feel ready to move on to my next book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC for review.

I received an advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review

Lushly written, very dark but always a pleasure. If you can write a book about kidnapping, rape, and suffering, but still make it comic and (oddly enough) affirming, you’re a genius and I look forward to your next effort
