Uffff just don't pick this up please, don't give it any more clout, it's racist, antisemitic and every rapist's fanasty. Urgh
Booktok made me pick up this novel, and boy, do I regret not reading up on this more before starting it.

The FMC is raped by her stalker, who conveniently hunts down rapists and human traffickers for a living, but then does the EXACT SAME THING to her???
 
This is so so so bad and I just want to factory reset my brain to never ever have touched upon this bullshit novel

Basically a glorification of stalking, sexual assault and rape. Furthermore the main character is annoyingly stupid (like who tf stays alone in a creepy house far from civilization if you're getting stalked?) and the stalker is a hypocrite (I mean, he's the leader of an organisation that's saving girls from sex trafficing but at the same time he's tormenting and raping another girl, just because he's obsessed with her?)...
Generally, I can deal with stalking, sexual assaut etc. in a book, however, romanticizing that? Absolutely not!
