Like, it's just a novel about rich, entitled assholes like that Martin Shrekelli. If the dude really wanted to give her a taste of the real world he would have cut her off from her money and connections and just left her alone to cope.

And no, beating would-be rapists to within an inch of their lives? It only shows the violence and entitlement inherent in those dudes including the hero, not the magnitude of the original wannabe rapist couple.Īnd the author had to make the 4 'bad guys' like OTT unrealistically 'evil' to try to make the main character out as a victim or sympathetic, but she is a wealthy spoiled person who has every opportunity and the kinds of problems she faces are cushioned by literally everything in her life.

It's being so out of touch with reality that they think picking on everyone is cool. Everyone in here is doing shitty things out of either 'revenge' or literally just being bored rich kids who want to be 'different' so they play at being rebels and commit actual crimes.

Not even in a edgy, sexy way more like an entitled, out-of-touch, first-world-problems way. The problem? Every single character is entirely unlikeable. The plot? Interesting in its bare bones- a girl being set up/harassed/bullied as revenge because they think she sent them to prison, and one of them is in love with them? Fascinating, and it's handled well. In fact, I'm still reading it even though it's annoying the crap out of me. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out. The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore. Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. My nightmares, however, became my obsession. I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires.
