This book was... horrible. Didn't like any of the characters, how the whole incest (trigger warning for this) thing was played out, the setting, the relationship or the tragic/sad side of the story, that simply fell flat for me, since I didn't care at all for anyone. I wanted to dnf this book constantly throughout reading it, but eventually I finished it while procrastinating studying and at least I can have a fully fleshed opinion.

Most disappointing read of 2016 up until now.

Har du läst Forbidden? Inte? Då har du missat en sjujävla bra bok. Känslorna rusar inombords och med ett kapitel kvar + epilogen så var jag så frustrerad att jag kunde drämma boken rakt in i väggen. Istället åkte jag till stallet och sansade mig. Nu är boken utläst, hur ska jag få dig att förstå att detta är en av de mest känslosamma böcker du kommer läsa under 2016? Du kommer tvivla på allt du någonsin tänkt & känt gällande förbjuden kärlek.

This was a sad and difficult read. Very emotional and disturbing. The author captures a family living through severe parental neglect, which turns the older siblings into roles of "parents." The girl and the boy come together to keep the family from social service's radar, but develop an unhealthy attraction. This felt similar to Flowers in the Attic, but with characters that people today can relate to. It makes me wonder about what happens across the world when parents fail to provide structure and safety for their children.

No tengo palabras para describir todo lo que me hizo sentir, es una historia que habla sobre las dificultades familiares del protagonista, un papá que se marcha (y nunca vuelve), una mamá con problemas de alcohol y que no atiende a sus hijos, te habla de como es la vida para las dos personas a cargo de sus hermanos, algo que recalco mucho y que me gusto es la manera en que la autora te describe al protagonista el como te muestra como se siente, realmente senti lo que el sentia, creo que son pocos los autores que te hacen sentir eso, en general me a gustado
