Rape in a backstory...

8 Years Ago


I've recently started doubting using rape as a backstory for one of my female characters. Arguable a co-main character and the main love interest for the main character. Any criticism from this? Is it overused? Is it just a cliche? 

P.S. The entire book is already written and I was rereading it and some random post on Tumblr started me thinking.

As a bookseller I would like to opine on this but your point is not clear enough. Are you saying that the rapist is a main love interest or has the main love interest been a rape victim?

The rape victim is the main love interest.
