I would have rated this one 3.5 stars if it were not for the r*pe scene. I do not think it was necessary, and I do not think that it was handled well. The person never received any consequences and it was just sort of glossed over. I think it was handled this way because it was a woman assaulting a man instead of the other way around. I found it really gross and upsetting. It tainted their relationship for me, which I had been enjoying up to that point.
