GRR Reviews All the Little Things by B Hollidae

NOTE: Part 1 of 3, ends sorta on a cliffhanger

Rafael ran away from home because being sexually abused by his step-dad is worse. He was surprised he's still alive when his sister finally found him, and promised to move him to Arizona, where she lived, and never see his stepfather again. He got back into school, and met Akilah, who's surprisingly an emancipated minor that's such a straight-shooter, other girls are afraid of her. And they made an interesting couple... Dating after two months of meeting, and promising forever in less than a year. It is what dreams are made of... They even got married in Vegas. Until his mother showed up with his step-dad, wanted to congratulate them... and he wanted to... "resume things"...

Wow, that's... a bit weird. Sexual abuse is not a light subject to tread upon, neither is mental health. I guess I just have a problem with a sadistic asshole who goes both ways... abuses the wife AND fucks her kid too?  It just doesn't quite fit the profile of the two-faced abuser. Wife-beating is basically toxic masculinity, but WTF is fucking the kid and trying to convince him it's "love"?  AND he's able to keep a straight face for society? Somehow, it just doesn't quite fit. And there's a twist that REALLY churns your guts. 4/5

NOTE: As there is sort of a resolution by the end, I've decided cliffhanger penalty does not apply.
