Truly
by Carmel Rhodes
It’s the way I was actually fighting for my life to finish this book. I really should have stopped reading after chapter 2, but nosy me needed to finish it to see how this mess ended.
It’s so weird to me how people romanticize abuse like this, especially being sexually assaulted, when if they were actually being abused by their partner they would be the first ones screaming, crying, and begging for help. Because in actual reality there is nothing romantic about being choked out and sexually assaulted and told, if you tell anyone, they will kill you.
Noah is a very disgusting character who was not redeemable in any, no matter how hard the author tried to force it down the readers throats with his stupid sob stories. He treated Truely like shit throughout the whole book until literally the last three chapters when he finally “saw the light” or whatever. Truely is a very weak character and spends most of the book moping around and allowing herself to get abused because her mom died or whatever. Noah literally rapes her the first two chapters of the book but the thing that causes her to break up the relationship is because Noah lied to her. Like girl you’re okay with rape but lying is where you draw the line
