It was worth reading. I liked the fact that it was pretty open about the sexy bits and not the corny cliche of "he/she drugged my senses and threw my 30 years of puritanical values out the window." I think that what I liked best about this was the assault on sanctimonious hypocrisy. That is something that I hate as much as anything. Whether it's the great Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preaching puritanical chastity while boinking everything in a skirt he could find 150 years ago or Jimmy Swaggert taking the moral high ground while getting caught more than once with hookers, I find it disgusting in the extreme. In the Gospels, it's obvious to the most obtuse reader that Jesus was merciful to Mary Magdalene and the woman taken in adultery (where was the man, and why didn't the men in their righteous wrath bring him along for judgement as well) than he was to the Pharisees and hypocrites. He pretty much told the women to go and sin no more and told the "righteous" hypocrites that they were going to hell.
As to the FL; she was the "goody two-shoes daughter from a bad family" compared as trash to "the wanton daughter from an affluent family." That kind of treatment, all too prevalent even in today's "enlightened" society is more than enough to make someone determined to be "shot for a sheep rather than a lamb."
This was well worth reading. I felt like throat punching the ml family tbh. But apart from that, loved the story. Fl friend was lowkey the best character lol
