Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Slammed

Colleen Hoover books should be banned from YA sections. I guess adults can read this shit if they want but this is sooooo much worse than Twilight ever was. At least that had an element of fantasy that pushes it away from reality. This is so toxic we were screaming for characters to stop doing literally everything they did. Horrible, groomer enabling parent. Groomer teacher. I would let my teenage children read almost anything before any of the CoHo books I’ve read. It’s a crime that this book is allowed to be categorize as a YA novel with such a toxic summary and yet not specify the awful what the “plot twist” is (it’s a high schooler getting romantically involved with their teacher.) CoHo takes toxic pornhub categories and makes them into toxic romantic novels peddled to teenagers. My real rating of this is a stone cold zero. There’s nothing redeemable here. And I’m not a pearl clutcher. My favorite book is Maeve Fly. Also, not gonna tag this as having spoilers on principle. People should know the unethical twist.

4.5

A well-written youth romance with all of the angst and emotion one would expect. As I’ve grown used to with Colleen Hoover books, there is also a hard aspect not always discussed in YA novels. There are a few points that are hard to comprehend-such as not knowing what your date does for work/during the day which sets the tone for the entire book.
