2.0

Yeah so I was REALLY not feeling it the first half.  The premise was… predatory?  Manipulative?  Bad?  Like why are we being kidnapped?  Why are we saying that her hoo-hah “tastes like innocence”?  And dear God, why is the heroine such a dumb bitch? 

Someone please explain to me how this book actually had me in the second half.  Like… it almost made me forget about the kidnapping and his inner monologue being mostly “I wanna ruin her” “I wanna corrupt her” “her coochie tastes innocent (whatever that means).”

Almost.
