» PLOT «

Jordan just moved in with her boyfriend and his father. But as her boyfriend leaves the house for long periods of time, Jordan form a connection with his father, Pike.

The age gap is weird. The fantasization of having children with someone literally the same age as your son to justify a sexual relationship with them is weird. That's it.

» READABILITY «

This was medium paced, nothing <i>really</i> happens until 50% into the book. This book was fairly easy to read, nothing too bad.

» CHARACTERS «

I don't love or hate any of the characters. Some of them had really stupid thinking or stupid ideas, but whatever.

» WRITING «

The first thing I thought when I started reading this was, "this feels like a Wattpad book." Not that there's anything wrong with a Wattpad book, there's just a feeling I get from them and I thought I escaped from it in the 9th grade.

» OVERALL «

I don't have much to say.
