** TRIGGERS**
Okay little babies! I went back to reread because I realized I was missing context while reading the last book.. also, I’m a glutton for punishment and just nosy. Now, reading the entire book and understanding Jeremy a little bit more has definitely helped put stuff into perspective. Why Jeremy is the way he is. His influences in life growing up. I get it. However, it does not mean he has every right to kidnap and SA a girl. And it made it worse to read that he was confused by her response to this happening? Like he just assumed she’d be alright with it? Weird.
Nylah is definitely having her Stockholm syndrome moment here, and who am I to tell her how to deal with her trauma? To each their own. I do think it would be better on my brain if he wasn’t 28 years older than her though… and maybe her not being 18? Creepy. Overall, I did enjoy the book (outside of scenarios spoken of prior. I just blacked out on those parts
