I read that book and when I got to the line you quoted, I threw it across the room. Never finished it or read anything by that author again. 8 ]

I came so close! I think if it had been any earlier in the book, I would have, but I was so close to the end.

I an tell you tyhis much: It wasn't *my* fault atall. I was assaulted, not raped, and I was half the fuck asleep when he started in on me. I'm glad I read this book before that happened; now I don't think I could. If being half asleep and not able to defend yourself (He tied me up with clothes BTW) is 'partly my fault' I don't want to know what *all the falt* on the woman is.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry that happened to you! Of course none of that was your fault. I was assaulted as well, and absolutely not my fault. I'd hope people don't think that way anymore, but, sadly, we're still seeing those attitudes today. I think the tide is changing though.
