Poor plot. Was not interesting. Pretty gross to read in my opinion.
It doesn't feel right to rate this, and I don't think I can finish it tbh. From what I understand this does what it sets out to do in terms of flipping the narrative and examining the idea that girls are sluts for giving it up and victims of predators, and for men/boys it's always an accomplishment. I think it creates a good discussion, but right now even at the beginning the graphic scenes are genuinely just written like they're smut and I don't think I can stomach it. Which, again, I think one of the main points of the book is to make you feel thoroughly disgusted so... mission accomplished?
It took me ages to get through this book simply because I struggled with being made to feel uncomfortable and needing to step away from it and read something lighter. I almost quit reading it because of this but my need to see justice overpowered my ick. Clearly the writer did a great job.
Being the reader that loves all things juicy, I of course picked this book up right away from the library when I read what it was about. Celeste Price, a junior high teacher, is literally obsessed with fourteen year old boys. She cannot wait for the new school year to start so she can scope out her new options of fourteen year old boys when she comes across Jack who she believes is the perfect candidate. The whole book is EXTREMELY graphic. Like I don't even mean like some sex, I mean like GRAPHIC detailed sexual encounters. And you have to remember… with a fourteen year old boy.
Although this is the case and it's honestly a disgusting topic, I felt the book was amazing. Celeste was such an amazing character, and although she absolutely repulsed me, she was so fascinating that there are actually people out there like this. And I think it's a good lesson to show that men aren't the only people who sexually abuse, women do it, as well. It was so interesting and a book I will never forget. But believe me, it is graphic.
