Bad for You by Abbi Glines
2.0
Raised by the pastor and his wife in a gossipy, hateful community, gorgeous Blyth was ostracized and gaslighted into believing she had no value and her existence was innately evil. The situation is 360 degrees of fucked-up, and when she is released into the world at 18 or so, she is woefully naive to pretty much everything in life. She works at the local church where she meets the local PKs, and she lives in an affordable apartment beneath partying band members.
Once I was into the book, I thought this could be a steamy-romance take on how each emotional abuse and cultural sheltering fosters naivety. It was in a way, but ultimately, this was about how a man can save you. There was a weak attempt at how an innocent woman can save a man too, but I'm not convinced feeding Krit's intensity and violent possessiveness was any sort of salvation.
