Reading about being a teenager is a strange experience when you're not one anymore but this gave me a strange sense of yearning and I loved it for that

Wild how graphic the assault scene is compared to the consensual one. Why give us such a sexualized description of a minor’s body? The way she writes it suggests its romantically sexual rather than straight up sexual assault, shitty romance book vibes. I don’t know if this book should be read by kids, at least add a warning my god
