judassilver's review against another edition
Dropped due to the incest he gets his older cousin pregnant fyi and the comments around youth and beauty and the conflation of love and obsession-- something that seems to be used as a way to handwave the grooming and sexual assault that Vincent is victim to, which I didn't see addressed in any meaningful way. It felt very victim blaming that it was "his charm" that made his 30-something neighbor grope and then sexually assault him. His aunt seemed to think it was normal for him to have these "flings" , at 14 years old. I also wasn't a huge fan of the constant mention of sex, drugs, alcohol, and smoking that peppered this book-it made it feel edgy more than anything. I wish I had known going in, so let this be a word of awareness to unsuspecting readers.
