i don’t know what’s worse - the fact that she’s 17/18 and did the dirty with her (step) uncle or the fact that she ALSO had nasty time with her two (step) cousins and sometimes at the same time. why does this book has 4 stars i need an explanation

This book haunts the narrative for me because I've read other books and it seems like scenes from this book appear before me in the form of war flashbacks. The subject matter was handled so badly, Tiernan's age was a huge subject for half the book. Her entire character is literally the concept of learning to move on from her parents and... I guess bounce and moan on some dick? Nobody ever brings up the fact they're related (blood or not) until clothes are off.
Jake somehow became my least favorite character in the end because he just found new ways to piss me off.
(Edit) another thing about this book is that the description of the sex acts... Imagine playing telephone with two college freshmen and you had to describe the acts in the book. There's a dry anal scene.
