it was too much, Kellen was talking to wavy like she’s his girlfriend. He called her his “ bike b*tch “ and I didn’t like that. It was soooo weird how he talked about her, it made me very uncomfortable. I had such high hopes for this book, maybe I couldn’t finish it because I either couldn’t relate to it , or I’m sensitive🤷🏻‍♀️. Anyway I will never touch or look at this book ever again! Thank you.

This honestly was a really tough read for me. :(

I love the writing and concept but the pedophila was too much for me. While I get that Wavy and Kellen’s relationship is supposed to supersede the taboo because their love is true - I couldn’t get past it. I truly loved the concept and themes but I just couldn’t get over it sorry!

Very engaging book. Makes you think. Different perspectives are written well. Cried many times throughout the book. Don’t look at chapter names in the TOC, has minor spoilers.
