There are ALWAYS signs...As someone who grew up in an abusive household, I know that women who witness domestic abuse in their primary home are brought up to think that this kind of a relationship pattern is normal and more often than not end up in similar situations.This is why therapy is super important with kids growing up with abusive parents.And I also speak from personal experience, as I ended up having a psychologically abusive and manipulative relationship with my first boyfriend, after which I went to therapy...Also, one of the first signs of manipulative and abusive partners is the fact that they most commonly appear in one's life when the person is at his/her lowest points in life, after major loss or when their self-esteem is rocked...They take major advantage of this, a person's vulnerable spots...And this is based on literally the first 3 sentences you said about the plot of the book/movie.I assume it only gets worse from then on....

His impulsiveness and agressive behavior
@anamariadorofte155917 күн бұрын
Biggest red flag when he tells you he wants to f you, and then proceeds to disrespect your limits. Then the red flag on her side is that despite that she knows she wants a different future and they are not compatible she still accepts to have s with him. Limits need to be enforced by you as well not by the abuser

A complete stranger demanding MORE vulnerability from you in the very beginning is a giant red flag, healthy people understand it's reasonable to have boundaries and take time to know someone

All in all it's destructive behavior and this spiral of violence will continue turning until everyone around is hurt.

There is 2nd book after this called ‘it starts with us’. No spoilers but it is a disappointing read. Regarding the book you discussing, the journal regarding Atlas and their young love and heartbreak was an interesting contrast to her stark reality with Ryle. The scene on the rooftop would have me leaping off when he states to lily he only does ‘one night stands’ red flag 🚩!!!

From how you explained it - Ryle talking about the parents and the gun etc I took it to mean more his bad trait was wishing the parents suffering for making a mistake and taking pleasure from their suffering.

Mmm yeah kind of makes sense.. it read to me a bit 'non personal' and almost like showing his morals for the kids vs parents (which is tricky), while hers was how she 'benefited' from her moms hurt (not much room to see it good). Yeah the honesty will always get you🤣😅

Asking if there is more to analyse in the other books Hoover has written... You're walking close to the edge of a rabbithole here! 😅 Let's put it this way. All the other DreamBoys she's written are all like Ryle, sans specifically the physical abuse. As for s3xual abuse? She likes to toy with dubious consent, sometimes so severe that it goes into the territory of non-consent. One scene was so noncon that the backlash had her edit it after the fact (it was already published, so there are copies out there of the original scene) and it wasn't even that much of an improvement iirc. Hoover is so hit for Ryle that she keeps writing him into her stories over and over, with different names and backstories. They're all nuts. The most unfortunate part of it all is that the meta-narrative is on the DreamBoy's side. The main character always forgives them in the end, or worse, is covinced she's the one in the wrong and apologises to HIM. The inner voice of the main girlie is also very harsh on other women, even when they've not done anything particularly wrong. So it doesn't give the most... feminist impression of the author. 😬
@insightsbyv2 ай бұрын
That's the thing. I've heard so much about how these books suck because of these narratives, and honestly - also this one had me rolling my eyes a couple of times - but then again.. it would be for a good critique🤣 Also.. it almost feels a bit like a responsibility, knowing how popular she is amongst young girls, so we should maube talk more about the traps that we easily fall for, because 'romance'... Thank you for your comment🤗✨️
@Some_guy_passing_byАй бұрын
well , CoHo's son SA'd a girl and she blamed that girl 🥴. We can conclude what she was thinking while writing those books " R@pe isn't that bad " . The inner voice of the main girlie is the voice of the author herself.

As a romance writer and reader (and I am aware this is not a romance novel, although the writing style really makes you believe that at first, dark romance maybe) I just wish people were more aware that what is written is not meant to a blueprint for relationships. Some tropes (wrist grabbing, picking the woman up etc.) are used to portray intense emotions on paper, since internal monologue are considered gauge. I wish everyone had the talent of Jane Austen in writing down the subtlest of eyemovement, but they don't and most romance readers who want to read tired in bed just want a bit of dopamine. Maybe they should all come with a PSA, but I read novels like these since my teens and not once did I tolerate someone tossing me around like a doll. I guess I wish the novel was better and marketed better too, but I still want part 2. 😛
