About this deal

You can forgive someone but you can also be really naive and that's how I feel she behaved the entire time just taking his and his friends shit like she isn't dealing with the fallout of what it means to have someone assault you. I’m not mad at how she portrayed the effects of trauma (for example: depression, weight loss, anxiety) because it made sense.

What was believable was the "old boy" cult of football that protected the villain and vilified the heroine. I needed it to end with them not talking to eachother, except the casual "hello" when they run in to eachother. The entire novel is romance this, romance that, blah blah blah but the second the love interest finds out the truth, you wanna time skip?This book infuriated me, not bc it was badly written but because the rapewas a plot point to facilitate angst between the couple. News flash (and this is coming from a sexual assault victim) her rapist spent one night victimizing her, Ryan spent and entire year traumatizing her. I don’t usually read books involving rape/assault because it still a major trigger but I was rooting for Becca.

I read Four doors down and it was very good this is the second book and it hits every nerve in my body, taking you on a journey of loving and hating Ryan. If anything the book could have been about her pushing him away because of the rape, at least then it would be rooted in her issues.

Throughout the entire book we hear how she is best friends with literally everyone and how Ryan has been in love with her forever. This is where it falls into the area that there's a better than good chance I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Ryan who everyone acts like is a saint because he finally does the right thing and tries to be there for her, but again, could never give up other women for her?
