0 0K Webster is a wild author. Like this woman is WILD. To be fair, I've only read three of her books, but all three of them have had several points in the book where I was like WHAT. Because she just tries to jam pack as many wild things in as she can, I swear. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just an observation.
This book was... idk it was fine. I mean, there's something inherently weird and gross about reading a book where the girl is 17 and the guy is 21 and they keep talking about age of consent laws and how they can't be together until she turns 18. Like... that's gross, it's just weird and it's gross and that's a thing. I'm very good at taking things at face value, so I'll take this at face value but like... the whole tirade where she was like, "Ugh, why should the law get to dictate who I get to be with and who I love?" That's not it, girl.
And it's very strikingly apparent that Roux is seventeen because she's written like an immature, naive IDIOT. Which is fair. Seventeen year olds are OFTEN idiots. But Roux is always like, "Omg stop treating me like a kid!!!" And then she proceeds to behave like a child and throw tantrums and cry, and it's VERY apparent that she's seventeen years old. Which again, makes it uncomfortable that Jordy is twenty-one.
I was rolling my eyes a lot at the stuff that happens in here. (But that also happened in Hood River Rat and Wicked Lies Boys Tell.) Someone tell me, please, PLEASE someone tell me. WHAT THE HELL WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE STORYLINE WITH THE TEACHER? WHAT WAS IT? WHY? Other than for shock factor. And then the end. ROLLING MY EYES SO HARD. OF FUCKING COURSE SHE'S PREGNANT. And they're all like, "Lol how cute!" As if being a teen mom is a cute and fun and not a freaking struggle for a lot of people. As soon as they mentioned not using condoms I was rolling my eyes SOOOOO hard.
Will I read the rest of these? Yes, yes I will. I'm a glutton for punishment. And I am a hoe for any mention of Hollis and Roan.
