i want to give this five stars because the writing is incredible, but i can't because of the sexualization of minors. these kids are sixteen and seventeen and are being written about in a very sexualized manner that is uncomfortable. there are sex scenes between minors and this book was definitely intended to be consumed by the older end of the young adult group.
