Exploring the psychological dynamics of the relationship between a precocious yet naïve teenage girl and her magnetic and manipulative teacher, a brilliant, all-consuming psychological fiction read that marks the explosive debut of an extraordinary new writer.
2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful forty-two-year-old English teacher.
2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenagerand who professed to worship only hermay be far different from what she has always believed?
Alternating between Vanessa's present and her past, this dark academic novel juxtaposes memory and trauma with the breathless excitement of a teenage girl discovering the power her own body can wield. Thought-provoking and impossible to put down, this is a masterful portrayal of troubled adolescence and its repercussions that raises vital questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. Written with the haunting intimacy of The Girls and the creeping intensity of Room, My Dark Vanessa is an era-defining work of thought-provoking literary fiction that brilliantly captures and reflects the shifting cultural mores transforming our relationships and society itself.

Get ready to get uncomfortable.
Jacob Strane was fourty-two years old when he first started teaching the fifteen year old child, Vanessa Wye. Vanessa was also fifteen years old when she was being groomed by said fourty-two year old man into believing that the sexual relationship she shared with him was really love, and consentual for that matter. We follow Vanessa's thirty-two year old current-self as she, in the era of the #MeToo movement, is faced with reminders of her past. We see her struggling to go through her day as multiple women come forward with accusations of abuse against Strane. Kate Elizabeth Russell writes beautifully, she confronts the readers with the harsh truth of society and urges them to never stop thinking and start acknowledging the problems of the world we live in right now. With my whole entire heart I can tell you that "My Dark Vanessa" is a book that comes once in a lifetime and you should get ready to get uncomfortable, want to throw up but still continue reading because even though this Vanessa Wye is fictional, it is based on the authors real experiences and there is a girl who went through the exact same thing and we as a society have to change so that this never happens ever again.
