Ben è un giovane scrittore che cerca di dare un senso alla sua vita e che nasconde un tremendo segreto. It's so toxic and abusive I hope nobody wishes they were either Ben or Fallon!ġ star, I wanted the reveal to make this not a romance and a horror, but somehow it remained a romance? Why the fuck?įor a better review than I can do, read this one: ( )Į anche questa volta TragedyHoover non si smentisce! Nessuno come lei riesce a creare una tale catena di tragedie capaci di annientare chiunque.įallon è una giovanissima e promettente attrice che si ritrova con la carriera stroncata sul nascere per gli esiti di un terribile incendio che le ha lasciato gran parte del corpo devastato dalle cicatrici. This is not a romance, this is torture porn horror with an air of thriller but then it winds right back to a romance for no reason. Fallon must be colourblind, she's missed the dozen red flags! I felt uncomfortable whenever Ben was a creep, and the fact him being a creep was nudging on a romance confused me.

The editor got drunk and said no thank you. Who left them in?! Someone should have made most of this more coherent. She put a blanket over a rotting corpse of a story.įrom an editor's perspective, the rapid POV jump and some of these sentences. She might as well have faded to black on the SA instead of removing it entirely, that's how bad it looks. There was so many scenes of abuse, stalking, SA, and attempted murder she didn't edit out.

While I got the version without the sexual assault scene(the one she edited out so it's 'more romantic', there was too much of 'lemme guess the colour of your panties' creepiness and also having sex with 'just like a sister' and dead family member mishandling. The purity culture goes so strong that not even the law can stop it!

So the big twist is basically stalking and abusing and almost killing someone is okay because if you give your virginity to the entire reason for your horrible scars and trauma, he's still the one.
