Boyfriend Raises Red Flags After He Recommends Misogynistic Fantasy Book, Leading Woman to Question the Relationship

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but can you judge a person by their book taste? While many bookworms have cultivated an impeccable taste in literature over the years, even the most pretentious of readers have their guilty pleasures. PhD professors who teach French literature classes might reread Harry Potter books between semesters as a nostalgic palette cleanser, Lord of the Ring fans that long for spicier fantasy worlds might find themselves reading ACOTAR with a flashlight under the bed sheets at night, museum directors might have a secret collection of Dan Brown books-- even though they are woefully formulaic and are rife with very unrealistic representations of historical facts. 

No, perhaps you shouldn't judge a person by their book taste, but surely you can judge them by their book recommendations. If they were confident enough to vouch for it, it is safe to say that it can tell you a lot about a person's interests, world view, and maturity level. People don't typically go around recommending their guilty pleasures unless they are quite sure that the other person has similar vices, lest they embarrass themselves like our protagonist's boyfriend in today's story. Read below for a summary of just how painfully misogynistic this book rec was, how it raised red flags, and whether or not this couple got a happily ever after.
