I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many red flags! Most of the MMCs actions were completely unforgivable and out-of-line. Despite it all technically being on the right side of the law, it felt different to me than other morally grey characters. It was manipulative and slimy towards the FMC, which I think is where I must’ve drawn the proverbial line. I was proud of Monroe for being understandably freaked out. Weirdly though, despite all of his indefensible actions, I still really felt for the MMC and was rooting for their relationship to survive against the odds. I feel really weird - but I’m going to tell myself it’s fine because it’s fiction!
