Ok I REALLY want to love this author, but I think i might be done 🫠 I’ve tried so many of her books + have enjoyed a couple but the majority are SO heavy on s*xual assault + this is the third in a row I’ve read of hers that has been overly graphic on this topic. I’m all for a dark plot but I’ve had enough of the rich-white-male character trope + the lurid detail in which they discuss this subject. It feels to me as though it’s used purely for shock factor + just seems to be the entire plot.

Another great one. Was relieved Lena and Angie were absent from this one. Very much appreciate the attention she brings to there ever present jeopardies of being a woman and balancing that with the dedication of a man like Will, so that I can remember there are good men in the world too. And Amanda I’d really really really growing on me, quickly becoming my favorite character in this series. Really looking forward to the next one whenever it comes out.
