Multiple times throughout the book Shawn tells Derek to stop, and says no, or says he’s going too far and Derek doesn’t stop, and or coerces Shawn to keep going. He then went on to use Shawn as a prostitute knowing he was desperate for money to literally survive and keep his scholarship. But he had zero resistance to letting his student suck him off for a grade? Even if we pretend this wasn’t entirely unrealistic and uncharacteristic - it was incredibly wrong and manipulative. Derek was meant to be famous for being a great professor, caring about his work, pulling a lot of research grants, a real hardass teacher. I don’t have anything against this trope between two consenting adults tbh, but it was not okay in this book. It looked pretty highly rated on GR tooīut guys, this book was not okay, and I’m open to anyone who disagrees but I just wanted to share my thoughts
