The premise of this sounded really interesting to me. Carnivals, circuses, amusement parks are all settings i really enjoy. However, this book…. Was not it. The majority of the plot points revolves around an older woman taking advantage of teenage boys (18, but still wildly inappropriate since there was a power dynamic) but then they a full on 18yo man kiss one of our main characters who is FOURTEEN. And it’s not portrayed as predatory or problematic. Like yeah he says “you’re too young, I forgot” after the kiss but it’s just glossed over???? Like okay gross.

There’s also some very uncomfortably worded sex scenes that were minor infractions but still bothered me and grossed me out. 

And I’m mad at the reveal cause the villain was the only character I actually liked.
