Rock Bottom by R.K. Lilley
2.0
Ah. So this series is a Wattpad novel, I see.
I came to that wonderful conclusion when I was forced to seeing an entire mess of a story.
So let me list out this plot as best as I can.
H and h are together, but they are toxic for each other. She laughingly calls herself a strong, independent woman and he laughingly calls himself her everything. They codependently rely on each other with emotions of lust and jealousy and anger and manipulation, but there is never love there.
Of course, trauma porn is a theme. We are told about how much death and grief shakes up such an “unshakeable” Wattpad couple, from overdoses to suicide to miscarriages with hospitals and phone calls a revolving door. But finally, the h has enough. I mean, she doesn’t, but she claims she does after “fighting for him”. And H allegedly will respect her choice.
Let’s not forget that manipulation of not using a condom was in here, a lesbian was sexually harassed at a pisspoor excuse for BDSM as it is very obvious the author is a kinker and not in the lifestyle, and bisexuality was defined as being confused.
I’m bisexual and I’m certainly not confused. I am offended my sexuality was put in as a plot device to get a lesbian couple together.
I am forcing myself to read this series solely because of the third book, but this was utter… I won’t even say it. I can’t even give this 3 objective ⭐️s because it was that bad.
How is a manipulation, junkie, alcoholic, temperamental MMC swoon worthy?
How is an incompetent, stupid, I’m-weak-for-him-and-my-own-autonomy FMC relatable?
I just.
2 ⭐️s. This book deserves at least that.
