      @taylordee641 8 месяцев назад +39

      Yeah, her having been a social worker doesn't mean she was a particularly sensitive one, y'know? This is purely speculation, but we don't know if maybe she draws on former clients' cases for material, and if she does we don't know to what extent. I'd be so upset if I learned that someone had taken my trauma and spun it as a romance (for profit, no less)! That said, as someone with trauma who is surrounded by other traumatized people, I understand how getting bits and pieces of it all out can be cathartic, as would framing it in a way that makes her/her readers feel like they're in control of the situation even if that framing is detrimental in the long run. I've read some Hoover-level drama in my time, and sometimes it helps me process bad stuff somehow.
      P.s.: I hope this comment doesn't come across as disparaging of social workers, counselors, advocates, etc! Most of the ones I've worked with are wonderful and have saved me during my lowest points. I salute you all!

That genre would not have been particularly healthy for me when I was still "recovering" from being in and searching out toxic relationship but nowadays I enjoy it. If I was a decent writer, I'd probably write this stuff as well.

    Do the people saying it's anti-feminist to criticize authors like Colleen Hoover and E.L. James even realize that their books are easily some of the most misogynistic texts to ever be penned by a woman? These authors are not girls' girls. They resent and feel the need to compete with other women, and they spell that out over and over in their work. Pointing that out doesn't make me filled with self-hatred, I'm just TIRED.

There's lots of signs they were just friends who Ben assumed after seeing they texted each other. And shortly after the mom's death, Ben sees the dad being sad and thinks he doesn't deserve to with Ben's assumption of things, and that's why he starts the car fire that becomes the house fire that ruins Fallon s life.
    It's only later, right before Ben is seeing the news report about the fire, that his brother goes hey have you read the note, and the note explains no the mom had terminal cancer and didn't want to stick her kids with the medical bills. And just took actions first instead of telling her kids her plan???
    Also wild you didn't even mention Ben dating his brother's widow for a year just after that brother died.

(The ex-girlfriend is shot in self-defense and dies on the spot) When the couple is saved, the girl (Layla) is not her usual self and she’s very anxious (well I wonder why the girl’s been shot and almost killed!) and the guy is just bored with her and cannot stand her anxiety. At the same time, a spirit called Willow appears at their home and starts to communicate with the guy asking for his help to figure out why she is trapped in that house and whether she’s dead or stuck in between or whatever..he allows the spirit to take over Layla’s body when Layla goes to sleep and starts to communicate with it through Layla’s body, and he falls out of love with Layla and gives no shits about her, gaslights her when she’s thinking that something’s wrong with her body and she’s not sleeping enough, ties her to the bed when she finds out what he’s been doing with Willow, and abuses her..all this because he falls in love with Willow (the spirit)..
      Spoiler
      Turns out Willow had been Layla’s soul trapped outside of a body while the embodied Layla was his ex-girlfriend’s soul taking over Layla’s body..all this justifies what he’s done to Layla and the abuse he’s led her through because wow turns out she is Willow and they are soulmates!!
