Of Metal and Wishes by Sarah Fine
DID NOT FINISH

Dnf’ing this about a third of the way through. The actual story itself is not bad. It’s not great. A bit too insta-love for my taste but whatever.

The problem I have is the very intense rape culture and slut shamming. Only a hundred pages in and the main character is sexually harassed a handful of times and I know it’s only going to get worse. I was having a hard time stomaching it already. While I do understand it is supposed to be horrific, it’s at a point where so far the only guy who hasn’t harassed her besides her father is her love interest.

It’s just way too much and the rest of the story isn’t good enough for me to try and push my way through it.
