Do you think Easthaven is the first time in Andrew's life where he truly doesn't remember everything that happened to him?
How disorienting it must be for him to have gaps in his memory? How he has something he cannot recall, no matter how many times he tries? How it comes back to him in pieces, but never as a whole?
Maybe another reason he never really talks about it is because he can't remember it. He doesn't know what memories are real. He remembers the feelings, the fear, the sickness. But as to what happened to him every hour of every day? He was too drugged to remember every detail.
Did he [Proust] use drugs on Andrew to ensure his own relative safety, to skew Andrew’s take on things should any of this come back to him, to get Andrew so off balance and/or out of his head that he could more easily get the reactions and responses he wanted? - Extra Content (159-160)

YES I AGREE SO MUCH WITH THE EASTHAVEN OFF-BOOK RAPE
When i heard that andrew was raped *again* in easthaven, it made me go "Why? What for?"
I can handle reading what Neil went through in the nest, because it didn't feel unnecessary for him to go through it. Whatever happened to Andrew in easthaven is ughhh why... I know that it's maybe to show that Riko isn't to be trusted and is truly sadistic, but come on...
I can't stand the Drake scene either. The idea of the Hemmick parents letting Drake in their house is an interesting set up, but the way it's been handled is frustrating. It's like when I read a Wattpad fic and out of nowhere there's a rape scene. Like you mentioned in your post, it's different when it's a published book
"I know that it's maybe to show that Riko isn't to be trusted and is truly sadistic, but come on..."
That is EXACTLY what the scene was supposed to be for. But if falls flat on its face because we ALREADY KNOW ALL OF THAT ABOUT RIKO. It does nothing except add a little gasp factor at the line. And then the gasp is gone, and so is the relevance of the rape. Riko is already established to be a cruel and inhumane person beyond definition; ordering Andrew to be assaulted in Easthaven was moot because it really didn't add anything new to our preexisting understanding of Riko.
The Drake scene could have been done well. I just don't think it was. I absolutely see the vision, but the parents being homophobic while also knowing about everything Drake did to Andrew literally makes no sense. There should have been more consequences to the situation, but there simply weren't any major ones. And you know what? I HAVE read a Wattpad fanfic about the same exact thing. The author was TWELVE when they wrote it. It was bad when the twelve-year-old wrote it, and it was bad when Sakavic wrote it.
do y’all think Andrew had a roommate in Easthaven? bc when I’ve been on psych units the patients with a history of aggression and “behavioral issues” wouldn’t be allowed roommates, but also nora knew fuck-all about the mental healthcare system when she wrote aftg and I just wanna give my condolences to the poor soul who had to live in close quarters with Andrew Minyard for almost two months

This is the map of Easthaven, the island in which my novel is set. It’s loosely based on the fictional world of Neverland. It includes many of the same inhabitants, such as Pirates, Mermaids, etc. However, the island in and of itself varies a lot from Neverland.
Below is a description of some of the key places in Easthaven, many of which will be explored within my novel.
Baybeck Lake is located between the West Sea and Pirates Cove, and is the longest river in Easthaven. It is, in fact, a river, despite it’s name. The river is regarded as one of the best source of drinkable water. Maybe this would why so many tribes have set up camp along it’s shores. There are many relics and remains to be found along the coast of Baybeck Lake.
South Bay is an isolated beach sitting at the bottom of the island. The bay is surrounded by forests and hilly terrain, making it a trek very few tribes wish to make, which keeps it free of different species. It’s not unusual to find a human or two around these parts, however. With it’s fresh drinking water and easily found fire wood, it’s the most human friendly part of Easthaven.
Pirates Cove is home to Easthaven’s Pirate population, as the name might lead one to believe. No human has ever entered this land and lived to tell the tale. Corpses and skulls lining the perimeter do a good job of keeping the odd explorer out.
Prymeadow is generally considered the ‘nicest’ place in Easthaven. Home to everything from unicorns to bunny rabbits, nothing evil survives in these parts. However, the two mountain ranges bordering the meadow make it almost impossible to enter. The challenge is hard, but the reward is more than worth it if one is looking to settle down.
Westdale Village was once a small fishing village bordering the East Sea, but it has long since been abandoned and overgrown. The village was a safe haven and a home to many. Each brick was built with passion and a dream, and you can still feel the magic of the place if you visit.
Allena Caelora is the richest and most prosperous Elven city in Easthaven. It is home to the Caelorian tribe, and can be found near to the Prymeadow, deep in the forest between two mountains. Allena is difficult to locate, but if you’re in the area and seeking a safe haven, this city is your best bet.
The Jungle Temple is located in the forests near South Bay. It was once used as the place of worship for those who believed in the demonic nature spirits. They were all wiped out by those who worshipped Mother Nature. The Temple is in ruins, but it makes a decent shelter for those venturing through the jungle. It is said, however, that the spirits still inhabit the temple. Enter at your own risk.
