This was so bad that I want to conduct a research on the sexualisation of assault and rape in media
I probably enjoyed about 15% of the middle. And a bit of the end, I started enjoying it after I gave up on it being a romance. All the other times I was :o or >:(
I choose to read this because someone made an edit of the shark scene at the start very sexily, instead it was straight up just rape. And no it was not consensual/non-consensual because they did not establish that trust or conversation before hand (in comparison to a later scene where they did something similar, but it was agreed on)
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Violence
Moderate: Gun violence, Suicidal thoughts, and Murder
Minor: Child death, Death of parent, and Fire/Fire injury
