There's a graphic rape scene in the beginning, but there's an additional sexual assault

when the MCs first meet — there's no consent, and

that's not TRULY addressed in these pages at all. It's mentioned again later... But there are no emotions about it. Even later,

there are mentions of Georgie wanting to make sure the other girls' "no"s will be respected if they say no. Vektal can't imagine that ever not happening... But, again, he didn't get a yes when he first "meets" Georgie. So.

Also want to speak to ableism tag above directly because I'm not seeing it in other reviews: someone "deformed" shouldn't feel any more "lucky" to be desired sexually than any one else.

I’m actually so embarrassed to have read this that I considered not rating/reviewing it at all. Without a doubt the worst book I’ve ever read, I can’t believe booktube convinced me this was good. 
Trigger warnings galore!! 
There is alien rape in the first chapter, and the love story begins and continues with very blatant lack of consent, aliens aside this AIN’T IT. Bad bad bad bad bad.
