A review by jerseygirl2912
How to Rape a Straight Guy by Kyle Michel Sullivan
2.0
This rating is the toughest for me so far. I have read the title and a lot of reviews. All were very positive about this book. So I tried it ... but I could not get connected with it. I could not get connected with Curt or with his story. I found myself more thinking about his victims. I wasn't able to connect to Curt and feel sorry or sympathy for him. And I just don't want to.
That's probably the main reason that kept me from connecting: I really don't want to feel sorry with a rapist.
This being said I did give the book more than 1 star because I could appreciate two things:
I liked the writing. The author made clear this wasn't only Curt's POV but also his voice.
And the second reason is: I should've known better and never started this book. Because I knew that this kind of stories don't do it for me. I can like BDSM storier, but I need a little bit of romance in it. And I need two adults agreeing on what they're doing as MCs. Rape is something I can't tolerate and I can't get over this fact. The title was a warning, the summary was, the reviews were... I still bought and read the book as part of a "Pushing the boundaries" challenge. And well... that it did. It did push my boundaries.
