 I was looking at some reviews because I wanted to know if the whole book would be as slow as the beginning but then i saw that this book contains a relationship between a 16yo and a 27yo, so imma head out

I would have liked it a whole lot more if a romantic relationship between a 16 year old and a 27 year old wasn’t such a significant portion. No thank you! 

I trudged through and the rest of the book was slightly redeeming but I’m glad it was a library book and not a purchase.
