Well, this was sad af. I had a few issues with the pacing and some of the choices toward the end, but overall, this was had decent engaging plot, with good commentary on how the patriarchy can ruin both girls’ and boys’ lives alike. I appreciate the effort to create a character who is sympathetic yet still irredeemable, and the decision not to romanticize abuse or give in to the usual romantasy clichés. 3,5 stars
