I will say, after 300 pages of Pierce fluffing, I found it hilarious to learn he has a small dick.
The thing that really sucks about the Rachel/Pierce sex is it would have worked if Harrison had written it like it should have been - a pity fuck. Rachel knows she's being stupid, both Ivy and Jenks have said the guy's going to screw her over. Rachel *knows* he's going to screw her over. Had she just banged him for the sexual release, *that* would have been the smartest thing she'd done in regards to Pierce in the entire book! But, nope, Harrison tries to convince us Rachel's falling in love with this sexist twerp (who's totally going to be back in the next book) and it's just.. GAH!! Knowing Nick's role in the book, I honestly would have preferred if she'd slept with him. Seriously.
And, oh yeah, near the end, Rachel calls herself a 'whore' again. For the serious crime of having had three boyfriends in two years. I did not read the Hollows series because it slut-shamed its heroine. Thanks Kim and, oh yeah, FUCK YOU!!
