I did not find the abuse in this book soft pedaled. The author was masterful in conveying the power dynamic that contributed to the physical and emotional abuse of the victim without resorting to graphic sexual descriptions. I was disturbed and enraged by it.
I was too, Catherine. I wish the writer had left it out, but maybe that's the Hollywood in her. And I couldn't comprehend after being treated that way, why the character would want any sort of relationship with him at all! Are we all/she supposed to pretend it didn't happen? I think that's why she got so depressed. What happened to outrage?
