I had high expectations, and all of them were crushed.
——spoilers ahead——


The story overall left me feel unsatisfied, a lot of plot holes. It seems like the interaction Jeff and rankin had is suppose to “help/aid” in Jeff’s character journey but it’s wasn’t even really properly touched on. It was oddly graphic and ambiguous as to if people would consider it assault, yet with all the details and importance it’s seemingly given, the author doesn’t do much with it. I also don’t like the use of sexual trauma as a character growth moment. It’s also not really written as someone who went through that experience

so terrible wtf.. I'm gonna put a lot of the insane stuff down to the fact it's outdated,, but the literal rape that happens more than once and gets treated as a minor inconvenience??? I'm pretty sure that was bad in the 2000s as well. and the writing is terrible regardless of what year it is!

There is not much to say about this book as this one was a gift from a friend of mine. This is something else, that's for sure.
