I KEEP ACCIDENTALLY DELETING MY REVIEWS BY PRESSING A NAVIGATION BUTTON UGH! anyway I'm not typing all that out again but basically, it's good because it is a functional thriller and there's an unexpectedly very (homo)erotic torture scene, but the last part of the book fixates a lot on Vesper and Bond's relationship, particularly how he loves her because he thinks having sex with her will always feel like rape, and he recounts that one of the times they sleep together, she cries afterwards and asks him to leave? Then he decides to propose marriage specifically because he likes the idea of sex with her always feeling a bit non-consensual? And the last line of the book is essentially "thank god that bitch is dead?" After he's spent a couple of chapters being nursed back to health by her? And falling in love (or at least what he thinks is love)? And she kills herself to save him and the best word he has for her is bitch?
