I found this very hard going, slow and boring. It’s probably not meant for someone who has already become of age which is why I may not have found it enjoyable. I did enjoy the twist at the end where

Rose has left Simon for his brother, although I was still left hoping Rose and Simon would get together and was disappointed when she turned him down to go to America

Minor: Adult/minor relationship

it’s hard to tell what the main characters age is throughout the book but it does seem that, by modern standards, the age gap between her and one of the male leads would be considered inappropriate
