5.0

I couldn’t put this book down. It was an easy, flowing read that made you question your own morals and reflect on your own privileged biases. You end up rooting for a relationship that, in most (if not almost all) circumstances, you would completely abhor. A complicated read for sure, but one that leaves you surprisingly happy and relieved.

This was a tough one. Really well written and the thought-provoking. A very sad story with a sad but happy ending. It was incredibly hard to read at times , the age difference was difficult. But definitely makes you think I’m greys rather than black and white.

Some will likely not like this book. But to me, it was devastatingly beautiful.

This book blew me away. I don't know how to write a review without spoilers, but if you are looking for a book that will make you question where you draw the line on a moral issue, read this. Aside from a compelling, original story, it is beautifully written with characters that will stay with me for a long time. I hope his author plans to write more books!
