the reason y im so pressed when there are abusive and manipulative traits in characters is bc it really isnt jUsT a BoOk. people generate expectations for love from books on here, and giving the impression that abusive traits are cute or fixable are not okay. so when i complain abt this stuff in the comments, its to remind impressionable readers that these are red flags to look for in a relationship.
not @ any particular book or writer but the more i grow and the more capable i am of noticing red flags of a toxic relationship, the more pissed i get whenever i read a teen fiction book on this platform. so many writers are romanticizing the main guy chasing after the girl after shes voiced how she doesnt want him — her inner monologues dont matter when externally, she’s been telling him to f off
its such a good book??? i honestly dont get how it has so few votes. sorry for not commenting all the time lol - it was too interesting to stop and comment
