2.0

I love the way the book is written, however, the sexual assault soured it for me.  Daphne is a proper rapist; she talks about how him getting drunk is her chance to get what she wants and how she wants to take control😀. Her taking advantage of Simon was not properly dealt with in the books or the show.  So, even though I love Simon's character and their scenes made me a bit giddy, I can't in good concious rate this book any higher than 2 stars.
