“Deeply validating to hear how badly this book has been presented and misunderstood. Read the book and was horrified at the blurb on the book jacket describing it as a ‘love story’, when the text I read was clearly narrated from the point of view of a perpetrator trying to justify and normalise their predation. I am so glad the phenomenon of this weird and gross justification/sexualisation has been examined and unpacked in this podcast. Its good to know I’m not being gaslit by the book cover - good to have it affirmed that this is a story of abuse taken wayyyy out of context and not the “young temptress” narrative that justifies the actions of a predator. Great podcast, subject matter sensitively handled, fascinating discourse.”
