Am I imagining that many gay coming of age stories have moments of sexual assault framed as almost romantic? Whether or not it's as common as I think, this is not the first time I've read this kind of thing and I'm so incredibly sad

"What if she were raped? His mind jumped from that and landed on, What if someone raped her and she got pregnant?"
Such vile possessive thoughts. I wanted to like this book and there are parts that I can find appreciation for but then you get something like this and I just feel disgusted. What is the point?

I'm sure that objectively this is a good book but I don't think it's for me. I'm confused, I'm uncomfortable, and I'm not having a good time.
