How hard is Still Beating to read?

Still Beating scores 26 out of 100 for difficulty on ReadingRate, making it relatively accessible. The score is a weighted composite of nine measures: four of how hard the prose is to parse, five of how hard the meaning is to extract.

Vocabulary: 25 out of 100: Marketed as a contemporary romance with dark suspense, the book most likely uses plain, current vocabulary in the vein of Beach Read or It Ends with Us. Reader praise for the banter suggests conversational language.
Sentence structure: 28 out of 100: A commercial romantic thriller of about 86,000 words is likely built on direct, accessible sentences, close to the contemporary prose of Beach Read. Nothing in the evidence points to experimental syntax.
Abstraction: 30 out of 100: The premise is concrete: two people chained in a basement who must survive a captor. Difficult issues like PTSD and sexual violence are dealt with through personal experience, as in It Ends with Us.
Information density: 30 out of 100: A plot-driven captivity story with two leads and one abductor suggests a manageable stream of reveals, comparable to The Housemaid. The pace is likely fast and light on exposition.
Narrative indirection: 28 out of 100: Genre romance suspense tends to state emotion and motive plainly, like Beach Read. The abductor's plan is a suspense element, but the evidence shows no heavy inference demanded of readers.
Symbolic density: 22 out of 100: The listing describes a straightforward genre premise with no symbolic apparatus, so symbolism is probably minimal, like Beach Read. The title's heart image is the only visible motif.
Ironic distance: 22 out of 100: Blurbs stress intensity, love and hope, which signals earnest emotional engagement similar to It Ends with Us. The banter adds some wit but not a gap between what the text says and what it means.
Resolution withholding: 25 out of 100: Romance conventions and the blurb's emphasis on love and hope point toward an emotionally resolved ending, like Beach Read's genre-expected happy ending. Suspense plots of this kind typically close their central threat.
Structural complexity: 25 out of 100: A single captivity scenario with two protagonists suggests a linear, plot-driven structure like Beach Read. The evidence shows no timeline experiments.
