Ok so this one was a complete mess.
First things first, the characters had no chemistry at all, apart from the way too many and useless sex scenes thrown together, this book is a parody of heavily influenced plot lines with rushed relationships and rabbit fucking.
For real now, you are telling me that she had a traumatic experience of having her sexual relationship made public and 2 weeks later shes jumping bones with 3 stranger hulks in a recluse part of the world?
The author is trying to integrate the boy's traumas in a way to get over each of their problems by using the FMC in a sexual manner, like shes saint Mary. While the author keeps pestering the inner monologues with her being scared about that video and the publicity. What about her psychological stability? A recurring problem of RH that I observed is that female characters then to be used as sponges for the males problems and play part of a therapist/ mother hem or something similar in which she's all good, herself, and the brooding men are using her, either in a psychological way or a physical manner to get over some trouble or traumatic experiences. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I tend to read female written books especially due to the more realistic portrayal of the feminine counterpart of the stories and I see that I get highly disappointed in this aspect. Also, because of the lack of thought process input from the author, they tend to make the same typology of perfect, petite and spongy female characters that the male gaze is promoted in the media. Isnt this supposed to be female made media targeted towards female mainstream? Why do women get used, even in "romantic" books? I do get the "hype" of smutty book and all that, but porn without plot is tagged as such with a reason. This was the worst case of PWP that I've seen this year, and I also read bad written fanfiction and other types of erotic media.
The relationship was so fucking rushed that its absolutely bonkers and ridiculous and I'm not even going to say anything about the time jumps that are recurrent towards the end of the book, cause that is uncalled for and pointless, at its finest.
So our heroine who had a sexual traumatic experience decides to go to Sweden in a recluse town, gets in an accident and 2 days later shes kissing 1/3 dudes that saved her? Christ. Where on earth is the emotional development between the MCs? Cause let me tell you, there is absolutely none. Then we have the ex-bf, Sam who she still haven't blocked contact with and the fact that even her parents/ close friends or people are calling her names due to that idiotistic and narcissistic character? Again, what she does? Jumps bones with 3 unknown men in the middle of nowhere.
