okay! apparently unpopular opinion time according to the 4.4⭐️ rating on goodreads but here we go: this book was awful. plain and simple. not only did the content remain entirely boring, with it being entirely chatting and continuing on for pages and pages more than it needed to but it was also 80% sex talk/jokes, 15% problematic content and 5% enjoyable story. i was really looking forward to this after seeing some wonderful reviews but i’ve never been more let down by something. as someone that only dnf’s in a “i’ll pick it back up later” kind of way, this is my first actual DNF, will not pick up again. and it is DESERVED. 

problematic content (highlights 🙃)
• repeated use of the word “rapey”
• continuous sexist and borderline transphobic comments
• admitting to performing sexual acts by a twenty year old thinking about a 15 year old (multiple times!)
• swearing on every page at least 50 times (that one’s more personal annoyance)
• ignorant use of language in reference to sam’s romani mother

and probably more in the last 30%, yikes! 

to the people that enjoyed this i think you really need to think about the content you’re reading 🥲
