1.0

If nothing else kept me entertained? My first one star finished read. I don’t care about the themes. It’s a book, it’s not real. Write about whatever you want. But just because you read does not mean you are able to write. And just because someone writes about sex does not mean it needs to be published. The worst part? The sex scenes are well written. It feels like the author is stumbling through the plot and quickly and obviously as possible to get to the sex. If the whole book had the level of care as those moments, it would be better.

This book was good but touches some sensitive topics but in my opinion was overhyped. I will read the next one. The base of the story is intriguing.
