I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.
The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.
Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.
Did the version you read still have the weird dig at Keanu Reeves?
Yeah, but that was the least of it. The way he talked about women was gross, and he came across as a very selfish person. There’s a reason he died alone in his mid 50s; no one in his life liked him enough to do anything.
