Its not brilliant so far - much of the first chapter seems to be spent summarizing what happened in the previous book(s). I'm sorry that its not gripping me like the others did - maybe its my age - but I'm about a third of the way through and normally would stay up into the small hours to read the latest JC but this one I'm finding easy to put down. Hopefully it will pick up pace soon .........!
Is anyone else reading it yet?

I struggled with Wicked. Much as I like to think I'm not a big prude (I have no issues with Billy and Janey in the stinging nettles and Rupert and his silky pubes) I wasn't a fan of reading about such young, sexually active children. It was super cringy. Not as cringy as 'honey c*nt' in the last book though and I did think at that point, eeeeeeeeew time to retire now Jilly!

Wasn't it buttercunt? I tried to blank it from my memory but that's the word that I have stuck in my head. I physically am shuddering reading it, total cringe.
