Like it's just being used as a plot point so our main character can be saved by the big, strong male character and not to actually draw attention to a serious issue.But then it had moments where it was scarily accurate on how some really dumbass people view rape, you know, the types of people you want to throat punch really hard.īut, like I mentioned before, I kind of fell in love with this. In some ways I can understand that because rape plays a big part in this story to the point where it seems a bit over the top. I remember seeing a few reviews for this a long time ago, back when it first started appearing in book shops, and I distinctly remember them criticising the way it handled the subject of rape. But then this stupid book made me go and love it anyway, what does it think it's doing?
It was also really cliché and obvious, something else that I really hate. I believe you will guess pretty much instantly because every sign points to it and Jacqueline just sits there, completely oblivious. If I figure it out straight away but the main character doesn't then I start to think she's ridiculously stupid and I hate stupid characters. I won't ruin the revelation in case you don't figure it out, but I did IMMEDIATELY and it angered me. It did happen and I really wanted to 0 star it in anger but I can't.
Very early on in the book I posted a Goodreads status update saying that if a certain event went the way I thought it would then I would have to 0 star this. I hate to go against my own word, but with Easy I am afraid that I have to. But can Jacqueline trust him - or will the secrets he's hiding come between them? Lucas is the stranger who saved Jacqueline from an attack by a fellow student - she'd never noticed him before then, and now he's everywhere. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been so full of pure, unqualified desire. His gaze was penetrating, not wavering for a moment, and my pulse hammered under his silent scrutiny. I took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly before turning around.
