1.0

Well, the beginning of the story was light and romantic. A quick read without any complicated twist and low-commitment.
But then the rape scene just ruined it. Especially since Simon was also traumatized afterwards while Daphne was unapologized.
You can feel that this book was written in the early 2000s with the way the characters were described and romanticized. While I do enjoy a cliché story, this one had too much stupid and unnecessary drama with little character development.
