Now, the scene on it's own wasn't what soured the book for me, it was subsequent justification and sweeping under the rug of what happened that did. Daphne was not informed, sure, but she knew enough to feel bad about it before she justified it to herself.
Now, Simon did deliberately keep his wife misinformed but does that mean he deserved to have the choice taken out of his hands? In my opinion, No, it doesnt.
Honestly the more I think about it, the more I realise both of these characters did and said some horrible things.
I just could not root for these guys.

I’ve put off watching the show until I read the book, while I love the additions and wider scope of the show, this book was so endearing. I laughed out loud and truly enjoyed the dialogue especially.
I saw parts of myself in Daphne and Simon that I have never come across in any other novels. It’s a little frightening, honestly.
I’m not surprised that there’s controversy around one specific part of their marriage (if you know, you know). But I do respect stories where good people make wrong decisions and have to crawl their way back from it. It makes for good fiction, and does not surprise me within the context of the story.
There’s definitely sexual content (less than the show but still present), and murky consent within marriage. It doesn’t have sexual assault in the context of a stranger or some unwanted man brutalizing a woman (like Outlander), but tread carefully if you think that might upset you.
