1.0

The main love-interest of the book is just horrible, sexist, entitled and worst of all abusive. Since this was written as a romance, I would advise to just compartmentalize and ignore everything he did at the end of the first book (so the whole basis of their "relationship") and most of what he says und does during this one if you want to enjoy it somewhat. If you struggle with it (like I did) I would suggest reading it as a horror novel about abusive relationships.

PS: I don't know where exactly the characters get their obsession with virginity (and weird understanding of it) from but... YIKES
