Matelots by W.A. Hoffman
1.0
DNF - I was a fool for thinking the end of the first book was the climax of Will and Gaston's issues. I believed the natural progression from rock bottom would be up, but Hoffman took me by surprise by bringing out a pickax and tunneling so much deeper that I couldn't stomach reading any more. The first rule of minecraft is to never dig directly down. Within the first 100 pages of Matelots I found myself swimming in lava.
I'll admit I overlooked a few of the sketchy topics in the first book because I really wanted to like it, but Hoffman completely retracted any tact or grace or dignity she pretended to have in the first book and all the ugliness jumps out in this one. The perversion really shines with her decision to write Will and Gaston (both 27 year old men) getting hard from the thought of having sex with a 15 year old girl. In that very same chapter Will admits to Gaston he wants to be r*ped by him, and Gaston only gets sexually aroused by the thought of having sex with Will if it's r*pe. And this is supposed to be tragic? or acceptable because they're both traumatized? Fuck off. Fuck right off. It takes a lot for me to not finish a book but this is reprehensible.
