Consequences discussion

Let it all out, ladies! :D

Ugh, I am the least into it (except maybe Nenia)... and I am exhausted with the bullshit.

My biggest complaint is the fact that if this is supposed to be a captive story that the author seems to be terrified of the subject matter, so she glosses over it..... Hell, I am perfectly okay with being horrified by the subject BUT then you shouldn't write a book about it.

I'm extremely bothered by the fact that Claire is reassured by Catherine not giving two fucks about her rape. If I was just raped, and nobody seemed to care, I'd be screaming and crying WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU BITCH? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME?

I don't understand how this is so freakishly long. According to kindle it's like over 500 pages. That can't be right, but also can because it feels that long. I'm even skimming and it's taking forever. blah blah blah (view spoiler)[marriage (hide spoiler)] blah blah blah obedient blah blah he's mad blah NOTHING INTERESTING IS HAPPENING.

Oh... well yes, Claire is a complete fucking MORON... we've all established this.

She also doesn't seem to wish to leave (in as much as she doesn't search for weapons or escape avenues so good)

I'm at 72% and I'm going to go make dinner now. This book makes me what to blow my brains out.

Don't do that, please, I would miss you ♥

I am going to the bar for beer & wings after work... because I am just a wee bit irate at this book.

Oh man. that should be a book date. I would love to have a bookclub meeting at a bar with beer and wings.

Me too!! It would be amazing!! We could scare all the other bar goers with our screaming about this book LOL

I almost bought some tiramisu on the way home, but I didn't.

I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TIRAMISU.

I don't know how much of this will get read tonight.... to be honest, I am about as invested in this as I am which carpet my mom choses for her bedroom.

OH MY GOD I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ON THAT SPOILER. WHAT EVEN.

That spoiler wasn't a spoiler for me because I looked at the summaries for the other two books out of curiosity.

GOD THERE IS SO MUCH PRODUCT PLACEMENT IN THIS BOOK HOLY FUCK

All for products I don't give two shits about, and wouldn't even if I had money to burn.

As for that spoiler, if my head hasn't exploded from rage by that point, it will shortly after, I'm sure.

I actually do like Kate Spade but I can't afford it retail-price!

I hate name brand placement, a lot! And it's abundant here... Also I looked at the spoiler to - but had already guessed it - and it's so rage inciting!!

It's bad yo.

That's all I have to say.

What even are the other books about?

I don't know if I wanna know.

At 24%, she hates his guts (after thinking he was not so bad for a while). I can't imagine how the author is going to make THAT believable by Kat's 72%.

I still don't know what happened in "the room" or what's on the "videotapes" that she can't seem to rewatch because it's too "painful"

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DID. I can only assume that it was horrible...according to her dialogue which is basically "no, I can't watch it anymore"

Actually, I don't even hate the guy. There's no reason to. He's just a regular asshole, who beat her up once <--the only proof I've seen thus far. and then he apologized. And then she apologized....

...THE EVER-LOVING FUCK??

Well, she does have bruises and soreness, and I think one time she took off her robe and he fawned all over her back like he was sorry for how he made it look? Whatever, it's disturbing the book glosses over the abusive sex and describes the sex where she orgasms.

I haven't gotten to the sex yet. Anthony is still mentally masturbating to his brilliant scheme, a.k.a. Operation Rapenap.

YES. THIS.

Is that what happens after the whipping? Because i just got to that part.

I am so disgusted. I mean, i have no problem with antiheroes and psychopath MCs but for the love of God, don't romanticize them or try to make them look misunderstood or tragic or damaged.

Anthony Rawlings is fucking sick and there is nothing romantic about this.

I totally glossed over that or something because I thought he wasn't sadistic enough...

Or maybe it's not graphic enough for me because I read too much fucked up shit.

Okay back to reading. I'm still waiting for this ending that amazes everyone. I keep wondering if I'll be amazed at this point. EVERYONE said it was BAM.

I dunno. I'm not surprised very easily.

Maybe once you get to the end, the book lights itself on fire and puts itself out of your misery.

.... If he could reach his own back, Anthony would give himself a hardy pat.

1) wtf is that sentence struction.....
2) is he a t-rex?! Why can't he reach his own back??

BAHHAHAHAHAHAH <3

72% (view spoiler)["'I want you. I want you to love me and fill me with so many good memories that I don't have room for others.' She kissed her husband. 'Tony, fill me completely.'" (hide spoiler)]

KILL ME NOW.

I'm only at 10% and I would like it to self combust already o_O

75%

TOO MANY EVENS TO CAN'T. THIS ENDING BETTER BE THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF

WHERE IS IT YOU GUYS. I KEEP RAGING. I'M JUST RAGING HARDER AND HARDER. I'M GONNA TURN INTO A STORM

@Karly: You're in the same place as me. :D

@Kat: I keep accidentally clicking over to Steelheart, which I've got open in ADE. I think my brain is trying to tell me something... ;D

83% more abuse...more compliance...it's just back and forth with these two and she's still a dumb twat for not fighting back at all. The violence is still glossed over. There's more TALK of him being cruel and sadistic rather than SHOWING that he is, which makes my sympathy for her nil.

ps. this is a bit of a spark though (view spoiler)[HAH! Tragic accident my ass. (hide spoiler)]

Steelheart is way more interesting lol

Oh my God the douche had like a rapist father or something didn't he? Like that dude in Pepper Winters' book. Q, I think? Some men are just born bad. Why don't people understand this? Sometimes evil doesn't need an excuse. Sometimes evil just IS.

In fact, I'm putting that in my book. It fits Adrian Callaghan perfectly.

FUUUUCK, SO I FIGURED IT OUT THIS IS EROTICA FANFIC OF BEAUTY & THE BEAST, ISNT IT?! *so much head desk*

OHHHHHH, like how IF I WERE YOU was supposed to be erotica fanfiction of Daphne DuMaurier's REBECCA?

But wait...the 'beast' isn't ugly, though.

He's still a "monster" (evidence not shown).... his responses are so practicedly wrong.... this chick has no idea how to dialogue a socio/psychopath o.O

WHAT NO?!

90% if that's the twist, I'm gonna be one pissed bitch.

And she's really bad at listening to that screaming internal alarm that makes most rational women reach for the mace (or the stiletto, or the knife, or the 9-1-1 dialed phone).

SPOILER! JESUS!! I still need to read Q!! I actually love Pepper Winters.

I'm totally keeping track of what % gets you guys pissed to see if I can guess which particular event triggered it. Heather got Real Mad @17% and I'm almost there. :P

BAHHA, so did I.

Real Mad (TM)

Sorrrrry. I thought you read it already for some reason. D:

Don't worry. It's not a huge spoiler. I won't say anything else, though.

I'm not a fan of Pepper. Her writing drives me crazy. But she is much better than this author. At least her heroines fought back (or tried to. At first. Briefly).

P.S. Kat you might want to stay away from my review of Monsters, then. I'm pretty sure it has tons of spoilers.
