Ok I like Lani’s books, but this book was just terrible, as in the subject matter. Rape is rape, no ifs no buts no qualifiers. Spoiler If this whole story was flipped nobody would have sympathy for the rapist. There are comments here where people have sympathy for Jennifer when Annie taunts her in jail. But thinks about it if the story was flipped. A woman is drugged and raped, the male rapist then holds his right to his kid over his victim’s head and makes her marry him, he ends up going to jail but keeps writing manipulative letters to his victim re-victimizing her (which is a real thing rapists do) and tries to hold on to his “parental rights” to the product of his assault. No I have no sympathy and neither should anyone. The H never actually discusses the emotional repercussions of his rape. This just shows how men who are raped try to respond and how little sympathy or care they get after a rape. I just can not handle the subject of this story.
