About book Forcing Gravity (2000)

I originally gave this one four stars, but since I finished it the problems I had with it have refused to fade away, in fact they've really bugged me a lot!SPOILER.........Logan (the heroine) is sexually assaulted, okay she's not actually raped but she is still sexually assaulted and this is just sort of pushed to one side! She actually says oh well I'm underage and had been drinking and therefore no one will believe me and anyway nothing really happened, and NO ONE ARGUES WITH HER!! (Okay a couple of the characters make token protests but nothing very decisive) Hello.... her attacker hit her... against her will, confined her... against her will and touched her intimately... again against her will!!! this is the very definition of SOMETHING HAPPENED!!! She is saved, goes home, has a bath and sends her clothes out for dry cleaning!!! Have these people ever heard of DNA! Have they ever watched an episode of CSI or Law and Order! She later reports her attack to the police so it's on file, she never even considers that there could have been a prosecution! and no reference is made to the fact that she had unwittingly destroyed all the evidence with her actions! Ethan (her BFF) beats up the guy and reports him for supplying alcohol to minors, so he will have to spend a night in jail, and she's HAPPY with this! There are no consequences whatsoever for the perpetrator! And after the visit to the police station I don't think the attack is ever referred to again! This was quite frankly bizarre and left a really nasty taste in my mouth. Sexual assault as a plot device is not appropriate at all! It is most women's definition of a worst nightmare and it really made me angry to read about it being dealt with this way! If it was just a device to bring the h and H together then have the offender back her into a corner, be aggressive or kiss her when she doesn't want him to and the have the H save her. It did not need to be such a serious assault if there weren't going to be any ramifications from it!Anyway rant over... Other than that it was quite a sweet book and I liked the characters very much, I might have even given it 4 1/2* if it hadn't been for the way the scene above was handled, but as it stands it's probably 2 1/2* and is lucky to get that which is a real shame! This is a decent book. Jase sounds appropriately hot for a superstar, and Logan seemed like a really cool chick. I really liked her, because I also have a lot of guy friends, so I get where she's coming from. I liked the book, but for some reason I ended up liking Ethan and Garret more than Jase. I guess that's a personal preference though. I'm happy to see there is a sequel planned, I will definitely be checking that out!
