(2,5 stars, rounded down ✨)

I owned this book for years before picking it up. I sincerely regret picking it up after all this time; I should've left it to collect dust.

I like multiple p.o.v's; it can be a helpful way to bring depth to your story. However, I found myself confused about 60% of the time, and I constantly needed to go back and check who the fuck I was reading about.

ALSO, this book justifies pedophiles? Mark was 29, and Katie was 15. Disgusting, illegal, and highly immoral. They justify their relationship by declaring that "Mark loved her" ???
She is a CHILD. A freaking 15-year-old child who does not have the maturity to know what love is and certainly doesn't know that a 29-year-old is not supposed to lust after a child.

It was slow, the end was anticlimactic, and I was bored.
Thank you, but no.
