The Best Laid Plans by Cameron Lund
3.0
Well, I’m torn right here.
A part of me liked a lot how it’s approached the issue here, you know, about virginity standards and slut-shaming, I think it was great how the author managed those things and it’s important girls understand that it’s okay to wait if you wanna wait or to do it if you wanna do it. As long that is what you want. And I think through the end of the book our protagonist finally gets it, so I’m happy about that.
Then, the other half of me was incredibly disgusted by some aspects of the book. Mainly, by the kind of “guys” that are portrayed here. No one is saved from being an asshole towards girls, not even Andrew (not until the last chapters, at least) and that both shocked and annoyed me. Not all the guys are like that. I would really have liked to see more empathy from the guys, like the one Chase showed to Keeley.
Above this, I... kinda enjoyed this book. I’d say give it a try and see if you find better aspects to in than me.
3/5 stars.
