I agree entirely, the whole shpeel with that guy is just...unnerving. I don't like how it somewhat geels like the story is completely downplaying how actually aweful the stuff he did to her was. Its really frustrating reading this and feeling like ginger isnt goung to genuinely get punished for all that disgusting behaviour.
Right I feel like the author really went too hard on portraying how toxic and abusive he was just to turn around and try to redeem him just like that, and that quickly in the story. like it makes no sense and feels icky.
I sincerely hope y’all know how to recognize abusive behavior and not let things slide because someone is cute or « don’t know how to express their feelings » irl cause some of the comments make me worry….
I’m still shocked at the dynamics between the two siblings being labeled as pranks by carrot head. Heck he was surprised Adele wasn’t on the floor crying when he burst into her room, like he was shocked she was able to talk back to him and not scared to death. What does that tell you about how he usually treated her? He was upset and her speaking informally and asked her to « beg »for his forgiveness…. Like wow. And he threw her out of the window threatening her until she gave in….
I do blame the author for trying to make him seem just « misunderstood » with poor social skills or something after all that…. Not a good look.
