Becca spent more time comforting him than anyone spent comforting her, grrrrrr. The entire epilogue was about how great he has been, how he helped get her over everything, how he deserved a second chance bc he stood by her blah blah blah! Not one mention of if she was in therapy (the word isnt even mentioned in the entire book), all that got her through it apparently is Ryan, which sorry it doesnt work that way. It came off like becuase he stayed by her he deserved to have her after a point. His redemption should not have come as a result of being the reason she got over it bc he was there to make her feel safe four years later and he most definitely did not deserve to be rewarded her companionship while still getting to date other women.while still loving her.Yeah right. They should not have ended up together, or if they did it should have been a COMPLETE seperation. Even if she did cheat, she deserved not even a quarter of all he did to her and let be done to her. I also dont want to hear in all his chapters of how much he loves becca bc sorry that doesnt come across AT ALL. I dont feel bad for Ryan, I hate the dumb prick, I dont want to read how sad he is to eff every girl he sees, and how hot their bodies are. In the aftermath all her actions were related to how Ryan felt, how she lost ryan, how she had to get him back, what he must think of her etc That is just a horrible way to write this kind of story. I felt like I read more about the heros pain over what he thought happened then what the heroine was going through as an individual who just went through a horrible trauma. It felt almost like torturing the heroine was the name of the game. Miscommunication was used to allow the hero to do horrible, cruel things to the heroine while she is also actively trying to deal with having been raped, and you can guess which aspect took the backseat in terms of what she was more worried about, not herself, just Ryan. This book infuriated me, not bc it was badly written but because the (view spoiler) was a plot point to facilitate angst between the couple. However, if you are going to do that the book HAS to be about the heroine first and foremost, not the couple, and not coupled with the male characters pain treated as equal to her trauma. Look I can appreciate wanting to tackle this subject matter, I think its important that we tell stories of the aftermath of (view spoiler).

Until she said no but he didn’t listen.more Until that night turns into a lie she can’t stop-can’t control. Until fifteen minutes of hell completely destroys her life and leaves Becca questioning everything she’s ever known. Until too much drinking and one empty bedroom. Until one terrible, unforgettable night away from Ryan. He might have been pissed when she went off to a different college, but they make the long distance work because they’re “Becca and Ryan”, and nothing is going to break them. She might not have figured out what she wants to do with her life, but she has something better-Ryan Jackson-and they couldn’t be more in love if they tried.
