A web designer begins an online flirtation with a mysterious person who later stalks and rapes the designer. How can something so ugly be written so stunningly. It was relentless in the way it hit me. The whole time I felt this heavy weight on my chest and uneasiness in my stomach. I've not been let go. I'll need Anya Forger to heal from this. But at the same time, I wanna read this again.

Ok so I’m mindblown. This story was very powerful and entertaining. The audiobook was exceptional. All the narrators were perfect. I absolutely loved the plot and all the POVs in this story. Not since Lionel Shriver brought us We Need to Talk About Kevin has a writer delved into the complexities of a disturbed mother/son relationship. Until now.

Any Man – HarperCollins

That's what this book made me think about. That's what this book made me want to talk about. It made all the anger and guilt and bullshit kind of rise up and turn into a sort of righteous feeling of pride. I know that doesn't make much sense. I mean this is a book about a woman who is a monster. It's called Any Man because it doesn't matter what kind of man it is, every now and then she chooses one. It could be a boy, an old man, a gay man or a straight one. She chooses one and she rapes him. She takes away the thing that defines him as a man. And then she vanishes.Equally horrifying, eye opening and heart breaking, this book is INTENSE. Tamblyn clearly knows how to write and this debut will leave you reeling. This won't be an easy read for some readers, but it's a necessary one. Tamblyn, Amber (August 30, 2009). "Amber Tamblyn: Confessions of a Child Star". Interview by Kevin Sessums, August 30, 2009.

The imagery at times is disturbing and may make your skin crawl— that is her intention. Yandoli, Krystie Lee (March 5, 2019).

I had to set the book down at least a dozen times and walk away. It messed me up in more ways than one. But it's also one of the most stunningly written and expertly told b I shouldn't make a scene, I was blowing it out of proportion, this wasn't a big deal, he wasn't hurting me, I'd be able to get off the bus soon, it was my fault, I shouldn't have worn a dress to work that day, what would I even tell a cop? Unfortunately, you don’t have to look far, just to the news headlines, to find sexual violence in our world. In her provocative debut novel, Tamblyn challenges our willingness to accept women as victims of sexual violence and the destructive ways in which our society perpetuates rape culture. I'm not smart enough by half to start giving some intellectual social commentary on this book. I can't talk about the feminist mystique or empowerment or use any of the buzz words. I can't even really talk about what I think Amber Tamblyn was trying to accomplish with this book.
