Pages for You by Sylvia Brownrigg
3.0
I had no idea what to expect with this book which could be why I don't really know how I feel about it.
The writing style is beautiful. It is poetic and flows really well. However, something was missing. Perhaps emotion? The writing style reminded me a lot of You by Caroline Kepnes and Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman but without the emotional connection. The story line was also similar to that of Call Me By Your Name but I never connected emotionally with the heartbreak and the giddy love in this one.
With that being said, it was not a bad book. It portrayed first love beautifully and was only smutty enough to add to the story. It was really not explicit at all and I would go so far as to say acceptable for teenagers.
Overall I highly recommend this book to young LBGT readers but also anyone wanting a good short and sweet love story.
