I need the Tin Man to oil the hinges on my door just as much as I need the Lion's bravery. But I've probably never read a book with worse writing than this. I've always defended writing in the contemporary romance genre because it doesn't need to be flowery and classy, in fact, it's annoying when it is. I don't careee if it's just a joke or whatever, pick something else to joke about or find another way to show your appreciation for your friend, but stop treating sapphic relationships like jokes.
Um, can we not? 😭 It's so easy to just not write shit like this, invalidating sapphic relationships. This is the fmc talking about her relationship with her best friend.
I’m going to have to propose to her soon or something." She gave me a sense of safety I didn’t realize I was missing. "It seems every day, my appreciation for Daya grows. I'm going to start out with this because I feel like otherwise it'll get lost in the end of my review and no one will care but can we please stop making sapphic relationships a joke? Nothing that came out of his mouth was swoony, hot or sexy to me. As shown by the featured quote above, this is what we are dealing with. Even if we put that aside, and just focus on shit like his dirty talk or dick skills (he has none), he's gross and incompetent. He goes on and on about how those men should burn in hell for what they've done yet here he is casually and remorselessly stalking and raping a girl in his free time. This fucker thinks he's so tough (he literally like.says self-affirmations about himself in his inner monologue), he strokes his ego by killing sex traffickers and makes that his hobby, his little quirk. I feel like I'm missing out on some big prank, people like this guy? He's so pathetic, god. I have a similar opinion about Rae, the fmc in Her Soul to Take, but imo, Adeline was even worse. This girl was clueless, pathetic and honestly, just overall shallow. It's insulting and we need to start writing female main characters with some respect. And by that I mean, these women that act like children, that don't have a single logical, mature cell in their body. Like I'm genuinely personally offended that I have to associate with her because never do I meet women who are like this in real life. She's so fucking dumb, I'm so tired of women being written like this. They were both dark stalker(ish) romances with kinky smut.
Well, that was absolutely terrible :) This book was on my radar because many of my goodreads friends (<33) who had read Her Soul to Take and Her Soul for Revenge seemed to love this one too.
