5.0
de forskellige pov virker virkelig godt, og man er hele tiden samtidig på alles og ingens side
det er en frustrerende situation og der er ingen god løsning og hvorfor var verden sådan her for ikke engang så mange år siden (og det er ikke løst endnu)

My Policeman does not live up to the hype it gets. The story was somewhat disappointing. Although the topic of this book was an important one; especially, it highlights just how recent the criminalisation of being gay, bisexual or lesbian recently was, a sad and terrifying fact. It could have been written completely differently.
What Marion did to Patrick is not defendable; it was disgusting. However, she did not deserve the gaslighting, and the emotional abuse in the lead-up, and by the sounds of it after, what she did. Tom is an unlikeable character, he screams toxic, his actions towards both Marion and Patrick are toxic. He seemed a selfish man. And it felt as if these abusive actions were glossed over.
It bears repeating, if Roberts accepted that Marion was bi or a lesbian, falling for the het-norms, we could have seen a beautiful relationship between Marion and Julia, and could have saved Patrick a lot of pain!
