They really didn't have to be related, and the author really didn't have to keep reminding me.

After reading this book I am going to make my new years resolution to read the synopsis of each book before I read it - because I went in blind on this one and was just not prepared. 

I was definitely entertained before getting 50% of the way through the book, but pretty much as soon as you hit the half way point everything is (to put it delicately) intimate and weird. 

To be honest, I skimmed the spicy parts because they didn't make much sense, and the random "uncle Jake's" grossed me out.

Listen... this was some disturbing, disgusting, hillbilly Alabama, weird, problematic af BS. 
Don't ask why I gave it 4⭐️ because I have no idea. 
I'm ashamed to say I liked it. I don't agree with it. I cringed my way through and turned green more than once, but it was like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. 
🤷🏼‍♀️
If this was irl I would call the police 😆

First, key me say this book was good. The writting was excellent, the spice levels great, the conflicts believable. The she of the female protagonist was fine. I mean I've never met an tighten year old that mature but for the story it was fine. The only downside for me was the ending. I wanted a completely different ending. Even though the ending made sense and was more true to real life I would have preferred more fantasy. But that's just me and it didn't detract from the quality of the book. It's a bit of a wild ride but still very enjoyable. Make sure you take the trigger warnings serious, though, because there's A LOT of real life triggering subject matter.

This is incest, pure and simple. There’s grooming, SA, and relations with a minor and an adult. Booktok did me so wrong on this one, I’ve learned to research books more before going in blind. Absolutely disgusting.
