Story was cool but boring. Narrator was horrible, she sounded sick and her nose was stuffed up. I was hoping it got better, but it didn’t. The whole time I had to try to ignore her nasally voice..
Eh

Not a fan.
Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
I had a hard time with the underage nature of this entire story. Maybe for someone it would be a lovely story but I just couldn’t get past the nature of it.
A very classic and sweet Halloween tale, and I’d go so far as to say kind of relatable if you’ve ever felt like you get picked on too much. Well written, well voice acted & Carly-Beth is such a sweetheart!

Predictable

I couldn’t even finish it. You can’t convince me that a 28 yr old in a sexual relationship with a 13 yr old is beautiful. Not in any way shape or form. Don’t bother with this one.
This book will haunt me for a while. I was so conflicted as a woman who has always been taught that a relationship like this is wrong. Period. No exceptions. But as a person who had much of the same elements of wavy’s childhood, I get it. I get it. I feel I need to..
There are probably readers out there who could follow along through the evolving love story between a very young girl and a much older man, but I couldn’t. I realize this says as much about me as the author. I was nt sure at the end of the novel if the relationship was “ugly” or..
