Between Love and Loathing by Shain Rose

slow-paced

I don't f*cking care. I have never hated an mmc more. He is a terrible f*cking abusive *sshole who love bombed and suffocated her. He had no redeeming qualities and most of the time he made me so angry I literally shook and cried. Reading this book felt like self harm. 
It's well written like the author isn't bad. 
The one scene I loved was the beach "breakup" convo. The fmc I did really like and I thought she really shined here... and then he love bombed her and harassed her and forced her again. 
So many s*x scenes are just r*pe. Like I'm so fr right now I don't f*cking care. If the fmc is continuously saying they shouldn't, and even wanting to disassociate during one of them, and constantly being told he knows what she wants... absolutely f*cking not. 
I'm so serious, any time they had a proper conversation after the fake get together he mentions her p*ssy. Emotional arc? Oh her p*ssy is his. Boundary setting? Oh but you know I can't stay away from that p*ssy. She's tired of the bullying and asks for one genuine compliment? You know I love your sweet p*ssy babe.


I'm so f*cking tired.
This was an awful experience.
Reading this was self harm. 
I shook with anger reading most of this. I cried multiple times.
This book broke me.
The fmc actually deserves the world and instead she got a different kind of abuse.

A couple funny lines, however, this was the worst book I've ever read. Gonna create a yt channel just to scream about this book.

There's nothing bad per se... it's slow paced but it's not long and easy enough style to read. I just can't think of anything that stood out to me. Every time I thought okay yeah this could be good, it went back to millenial self insert. Ending was also disappointing. All in all I have nothing good nor bad to say about it. I read it, yeah? That's all I can say. Ending was cliche, not enough tension built up to make it a horror or thriller. Felt like a book I'd read before and a tired concept. I do think it could've been a favourite read if a few things were changed, but since it is what it is, I'd be surprised if I remember it.

That was so sweet, I loved it so much. Haley Cass and Lori Prince have the unique gift of making me love a book full of tropes I wouldn't have looked twice at previously!
