***spoiler alert if you're worried about ruining the ending of a bad book from 1982***
i'm sorry can we just talk about how this is probably one of the worst books i've ever read
our dear protag alan is only 17, so everything that happens sexually is very illegal
he meets his father's ex-lovers & they're more than willing to sleep with alan, but mostly because he looks like his dad???? hello???? that seems predatory, weird, and creepy all at the same time. like the pool scene with tombstone & niles??!?!?!?! bad content
and also the one guy alan actually does sleep with is the guy that he knows killed his father??? homeboy....................that's not okay!!! you can't just sleep with someone that was in love with your dad & also killed him
this book had the potential to be cool! you investigate your dad's murder to find a string of ex-lovers and twisted affairs, one of whom might have killed him? incredible! including weird predatory behavior? not cool!
