Your recount of the incident doesn't make the book sound good at all. Rape is not a light issue and if it's included in a book, it needs to be dealt with in the right way. Plus all the characters sound so stereotypical that I can probably already guess half of what's going to happen. Ugh, I think I might give this book a pass... <br /><br />Great review though!Obsessive Compulsive Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478001483043640384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51660623241832274.post-70283392096939652482014-02-15T10:19:45.548-05:002014-02-15T10:19:45.548-05:00I want to think the author was trying to show how ...I want to think the author was trying to show how teens brush off such things, but I can't say for certain. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by :)Shane @ItchingforBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299725578226281943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51660623241832274.post-60703402498319118222014-02-15T10:05:14.851-05:002014-02-15T10:05:14.851-05:00I think you should still read it.

It is a problem in society, that's why I mentioned that it does in fact have realistic rudiments.

I'm giving this one a shot simply because I have it for review but a friend said I'd have my ranty pants on and reading this review it sure sounds like I will! The whole drinking to excess and having sex while drunk and then the guy keeping you in the dark is so concerning and it's a shame that it's not considered rape in the book because it is! Ugh, Rape Culture 101! Getting annoyed already! Great review Shane!

So, that didn't happen in the story? Sadly I've known girls who've had black out sex and it's not that they were stupid, but a lot have grown up thinking that's not rape. It's a wasted opportunity if awareness doesn't come through in this book. <br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
