If someone tells you they’re locking you on the balcony for 2-4 hours so you need to go to the bathroom now if you have to and grab whatever you need,

I’m hesitating whether to finish this book. This girl is basically being held hostage and when he smiles at her, she momentarily forgets she’s been repeatedly threatened and frightened by him… this book sometimes feels like someone sat down and decided to write a bad guy with the inspiration prompt of “what would the worst person ever do or feel right now?”

“That I, an intelligent 32 year old woman” uhhhhh… are you serious right now? You just made like 7 of the dumbest choices AND REPLAYED THEM IN YOUR HEAD ALONG WITH WHAT YOU SHOULD/COULD HAVE DONE, and I’m supposed to NOT feel like you’re playing in my face right now??
