Potentially with spoilers.

Nope it was definitely not the summer read I was hoping to get. 3 different underage girls are getting rapped. One by her stepdad, other by the brother and main character by her stepbrother. Till the end I don’t understand why she blamed herself what happened with her “DeFiNeTlY not a serial killer” (yes he could be the one) stepbrother.

The real good part of the book was Jonas and Anna. The stories with them were really interesting to read. 

But still, be prepared to read a book where in the second chapter a 9 year old girl is forced to give bj her stepdad and where parents don’t see all the abuse that happens.

2 stars 

I don’t know where to begin. First, ALL of the trigger warnings you can imagine. Second, this could have easily been 100 pages shorter. Third, I didn’t need a billion characters, especially when one reappeared at the end and I had completely forgotten about them. 

The two stars are only because the setting and its descriptions were beautiful and perfect for the summer. Also, I was transported into this summer trip, even though I didn’t know what I was signing up for. I definitely need a palette cleanser after this.
