I'm surprised I'm still medically okay after rolling my eyes so much.

page 45
13.98% "I bought it so I'm giving it a chance. Already there's been one line glorifying abuse and objectification ("she's mine")."
July 2, 2017 –
page 79
24.53% "So far there have only been TWO problematic statements! I'm amazed! Bumping it up from the 1 star I expected, to 2 stars! (But we'll see where this goes.)"
July 3, 2017 –
page 124
38.51% "CONS
An allonormative comment
A normalizing intimidation
These attractions don't make sense.
The narration is shallow.
I am rooting for everyone to end up alone and gain insight.

PROS
She makes it hard to DNF!
There were some consent questions during the sex scenes!"
July 3, 2017 –
page 194
60.25% "CONS
Relating shopping with girlhood
She coaxed him into doing something sexual that he wasn't comfortable with (consent issue)
A comment that romanticizes abuse
I'm not fond of how Hoover normalizes domination/submission without any discussion/explanation for the reader

PROS
Healthy comment about substance use disorder
3 sentence explanations about the attractions"
July 4, 2017 –
page 227
70.5% "CONS
She did something without his consent but they're both mad at him for it.
She considers having sex with him the same as "being used"."
July 4, 2017 –
page 278
86.34% "CON
Normalizing asking a man to orgasm while you're crying and in pain. (Outside of a mutually established BDSM roleplay.)"
