You aren’t joking . If you enjoyed the book until the harmless 4 letter word appeared then your time wasn’t wasted. Why I am wasting my time responding to a question that isn’t really a question I do not know. you say that she is using the word as Shock value to sell books, If that were the case it would have had to appear in the advertising for the book which as you also explain it doesn’t because if it had you would not have read the book. This much is true, you should definitely not being reading a book like this as you do not possess the intelligence and openness to appreciate what this book is about. (less)
