This is my first time reading a romance from the perspective of a rape victim and it was very eye opening. I felt like Hanna was very mature and smart with her decisions, as well. Also, Garrett's background story was intriguing. i really enjoyed seeing the journey of both of them moving on from the awful shit they went through and helping each other grow.

“you invoked a CAMPUS WIDE HANDS OFF LAW,”

everything about this book is special to me from the fake dating, to the teasing, to garrett calling her wellsy, to his father, to her rape. they were the most stable couple while simultaneously being the most chaotic couple. they truly are the top tier and deserve the absolute world. so thank u g and wellsy for getting me out of my five year reading slump i will literally adore u for ever.

This is absolute shit
Hannah could have been a 60 years old white men.

The way she talks about other women is disgusting. She is the kind of person I wouldn’t want to meet ever. The way she thinks she’s better then everyone, urgh

The book stinks of misogyny, sexism and a lot of really dumb conversation.

Garret is a overrated macho and gives me the ick

He literally does not leave her alone until she agrees?? It’s giving can’t accept a no for an answer

Also why is it so important that she has to drink at a party?

And sure she’s been hesitant for 2 years and all of a sudden she gets blackout drunk.

Also did the author google once how someone behaves after sexual assault?

The character are flat and have nothing to like

I really wanted to like the book, but it’s impossible

I don’t understand the hype
