Slut shaming, misogyny, and amazing feats of assholery. This book made me so angry. Lou deserves so much better than Dylan. He is selfish, childish, cruel, and so disrespectful. His actions repeatedly show that he doesn't care for Lou. He lets her pick up his slack even though he sees how run down she is. His tirade against her in front of everyone was abhorrent. He disregards her feelings and boundaries time and time again. He does nothing but fail her.
The slut shaming and misogyny is ridiculous. Lou is repeatedly objectified, disrespected, and assaulted by men and women (her mother is disgusting). It felt so targeted, like the author is inserting personal beliefs rather than using them as plot points or commentary on society's perception of strong women and how they should behave/dress.
Don't waste your time.
