Started off super interesting with really strong writing and quickly deteriorated into a mess of POV switching. A good study on how far we have come in how we treat female heroines in romance and sexual assault victims. Jade didn't really have a personality and Luke was just one big stereotype.

Also I don't want this to be a rant but what was with the religious aspect thrown in? Basically shoving God down Jade's throat and that's really the only time religion was mentioned. Confusing. Lots of paternalism in general and it irked me but I try to take context and year published into consideration.
