alexblackreads 's review for:

The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro
2.0

Ugh, same thoughts as the first only this was worse in every way. I never even considered giving this one more than two stars. At least the first entertained me, this was such a struggle to get through. It was so boring and convoluted, and I still don't really understand everything that happened or why. The characters and all their relationships were really unhealthy and it was never treated as such. It was creepy that a romantic relationship between a 22 year old and a 16 year old was teased throughout this book. Charlotte and Jamie have an incredibly unhealthy relationship based on mistrust, lies, miscommunication, and avoidance of problems. I do not understand people's love of that ship, unless all the adults wise up in the next book and send them off to therapy.

DNFed the series after this.
