I think this book is being marketed in a <b>very</b> misleading way. It’s not ”a fun and sexy adventure” but instead a tale of abuse. It’s a realistic potrayal of how easy it is to end up in an abusive relationship. I think the author built the escalation of abuse very well and also the reasons why the main character stayed in the relationship.
