Almost Damned is a legal thriller about a defense attorney - I can get on board with that. What I don't like, however, is disrespect toward rape victims. The book excerpt includes the line, "Invited... for sex, only to pick up the phone and report a rape as soon as he left." Consent can be withdrawn at any time for any reason. I also dislike racism - she says she didn't want to have sex with him because he was a "foreigner." I can tell this one's not for me.
