This book makes you desire desire itself.
I worked with this girl at work for about six months, and i really liked her. She had a boyfriend. I got her to cheat on this guy and eventually me and her after many many ups and downs got together. I tried very very very hard to get her to be with me. Eventually I got what i wanted and we started dating. Everything was perfect. I cheated on her with my ex, and after I told her what I did she broke up with me. Everything was not perfect, and part of me started not to feel bad, because honestly she was really bad girlfriend, and calling us a couple was insulting to me. A week after she broke up with me I read this book, and it started to make me feel a lot less bad.
The Hellbound Heart does a really good job at making you not feel as bad about cheating on your perfect girlfriend. Something about the way the affair in this book is written makes it seem desirable. Even though Rory is depected as a guy who did literally nothing wrong, you cant help but want to ignore that because the same thing that happens to Julia will happen to you. Frank embodies both pleasure and the desire to feel pleasure, and he WILL draw you in.
