Bro I ate this thing up. How is this YA? This stuff was rough. Poor kids. 

I found myself rooting for the two of them even though. yknow. You want them to be happy!!! The family needs to stay together!!! That pivotal moment the reader has been waiting for yet dreading is when shit hits the fan and it hurt so bad.

I really enjoyed the writing. Nothing really felt cringey (which is hard to find, personally, when reading romance novels, especially ones that depict sex) so big thanks for that.

I wish there was less focus on their physical desire as it got repetitive and instead a greater look into their emotional dependency due to parental abandonment. It was touched on a few times but I was vaguely dissatisfied.

Despite the page count, this was an incredibly quick read. A tragic, heart wrenching portrayal of traumatized teens searching for love and comfort amongst much more than they should be having to endure with their siblings. The author was able to write about a potentially disturbing subject matter in such a beautiful, empathetic way. I couldn't put this one down and my heart hurt for these two young people. Very well done.

This book was mostly read due to Elliasreads bringing it to my attention. i honestly relate to what he said pretty much. I read it and the writing is engaging but the story was kinda alright? i know it's a taboo subject but i still didn't enjoy the ending, not sure what I was hoping for but lol here we are.
