“He may not be a good husband but he’ll always be a good father” HE RAPED A MINOR. HE HAD INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH. A. MINOR. fuck spoilers y’all need to understand this book justifies and accepts pedophilia wholeheartedly
He also uses the existence of the child he sexually abused to emotionally manipulate and trap his wife and turn his own child’s life upside down. Not only does he abuse a child he uses that abuse to then abuse others. OH! and likely was the reasonthat poor girl fucking died
BAD. THATS BAD.
Graphic depictions of self harm and suicidal ideation as well as constant musings and fantasies of domestic abuse.
The twists and turns were boring and easy to guess. The children and dialogue overall were unrealistic and you could tell what sentences the author threw a thesaurus at compared to the rest of her simple writing. The motivations and plans of the main character make no fucking sense.
No justice being served for the sexually abused minor AND the murders in this book is fucking despicable. That fucking sucks.
“Rice crepes” and other moments of culture sanitizing and whitewashing were super weird and felt juvenile. It didn’t even feel like pandering to a wider audience it just felt sanitized and reductionary.
There was no character development.
The storm and the timeline felt DEEPLY unrealistic.
Also why was the fmc GENUINELY so stupid she confused a labelled and capped epi-pen for “drug needles”. bitch it’s an epi-pen. you were told they were in the house. it’s labelled.
Petty but 3 separate instances of characters comparing themselves to theoretical movie characters is lazy writing and unacceptable in my eyes. Find a way to describe your characters other than identifying them as characters in a situation. We, the readers, performing the act of reading your book, do understand that your characters are characters.
Blogs don’t “go VIRAL viral”. it’s 2024.
This was a waste of 4 hours and makes me want to go shower off it’s filth.
