Huxley has some serious problems if he doesn’t know how to be kind in such a basic way throughout the beginning of the book, and meeting a woman doesn’t make someone learn that stuff… I need to read a book about a cinnamon roll after this.

The sex scenes are meh. The writing isn't great either. I mean, who publishes a book with "-raises hand- that's me" or "*light bulb*" actually written into it. There are sentences I've had to reread multiple times and not quite know what the author meant. The constant summaries of scenes we just experienced was annoying, especially with the amount of off-page scenes that happen that we get 2 sentences for.
Both characters suck, both are boring, and frankly act like children a lot. This reads as YA fanfic. I finished at 94% because after Huxley thinking that LITERALLY FORCING LOTTIE TO LISTEN was okay and that she was okay with it... obviously the author romanticized abuse and I'm not okay with that. Wish I didn't spend money on this book.

Take the high road, Lottie. He may treat you like dirt, but he’s “helping us out.”
