My Teen Daughter Wrote a Romantasy Novel. I Read It-And It Sends a Very Alarming Message.

"Sloane wakes up with a day sliced out of her memory and in bed naked with a total stranger. She then immediately starts trying to comfort him when she finds his memory is in even worse shape than hers."

"That, instead, she joins forces with him while flirting with him sends a message to women to trust random creeps in odd circumstances."

"I told Katrina this. I told her that it's a serious problem that she really needs to rethink for the book."

"She just rolled her eyes at me and said I was way overreacting. 'Besides, Ulysses is a good guy,' she said."

A parent expresses concern over their daughter's romantasy novel, where the protagonist, Sloane, wakes up naked with a stranger, Ulysses, and trusts him despite their amnesia. The parent believes this scenario sends a dangerous message to young women about trusting random individuals in precarious situations. The daughter dismisses the concern, insisting that Ulysses is a good character. The parent feels the need for the daughter to reconsider the implications of her story's message, emphasizing the potential harm it could cause to readers.
