Ex-Patriots by Peter Clines

2.0

Previously I had given this book a much higher rating, considering it is a popcorn read and you shouldn't expect much from those. But it kept bothering me. Yeah it is supposed to be all fluff, but that doesn't excuse the author's use of the rape trope.(How do you know a bad guy is bad? Because the bad guy is a rapist. No need to focus on victim's feelings at all, they are just convenient tools to tell the reader who the bad guy is.) So I am downgrading my rating, maybe that will allow me to stop thinking about the book.
