Keeping 13
by Chloe Walsh
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
It’s so bad. I only made it as far as I did because I started listening on 2x speed while I was deliberating between other book to start. It’s just an endless cycle of the same scene in different wigs. For some reason we’re also still establishing how tiny Shannonliketheriver is and details about Johnny’s now functional dick every ten seconds. Speaking of which, why does literally every scene with any character revolve somehow around their sex lives? Why did we need multiple scenes of Johnny’s mom/parents inquiring about and applauding the functionality of his genitals? Why was Gibsie foaming at the mouth for details of Johnny’s return to masturbating? And then talking to his mom about his ejaculate?!?? I didn’t make it to the razor scene but read a different review that mentioned it and dude, what the fuck?
I honestly don’t get how this is so highly rated, like did we read the same book? Am I taking crazy pills? I also feel like this series is beyond YA for some of the content (it’s in the (adult) Romance section at my bookstore) but it’s also about literal children so the amount of adults raving and rabid for these books sleeves me tf out. Like, who are these for? IDK but it ain’t me.
