A review by piierrote
Calico by Dorien Grey

2.0

not the worst book i have ever read but it was a bit predictable and lacked any real substantial or interesting emotional narrative. the age difference between calico and josh was deeply uncomfortable, especially considering how often it is acknowledged within the book that josh is underage. the whole waiting until the day hes 18 felt quite gross. even without the age difference, their romance felt very flat and uninteresting, with no real development. the misogyny was also just a little boring. the action had no real tension, and i spent a lot of this book waiting for it to be over.
