We both laugh at our son’s big balls.
I reckon Imma read Mere Christianity next, because I need Jesus after that.
A couple main issues here:
- the glorification of teen pregnancy
- the glorification of pregnancy in general
- the unnecessary borderline incest?
- the weird overprotective (and violent) brother
- the obsession with pilots??
- the writing style. please someone take the centre spacing and italics keys away from CoHo’s keyboard.
- the anti-choice undertones
and a generally emotionally abusive relationship. oh man.
At least I finally put my CoHo money where my mouth is…

I can't be the only one that really cringed and struggled with how toxic Miles is throughout the book. Given his back story it may be understandable but still hard to read since we were seeing him in his present.
He hardly ever talks or smiles so it's hard to understand what Tate likes about him other than his incredible abs. She's not allowed to ask him any questions himself so she knows absolutely 0 about him. I take that back. She knows he likes the color black and he's a pilot.
Tate was more likeable because we got to see a little bit more of her personality but man I just wanted her to STAND UP for herself. Not just with Miles but also with her overprotective brother.
When we get glimpses of Miles' backstory as an 18 year old the formatting of those chapters were incredibly....weird. If the goal was to make him seem more juvenile it was a success....but it actually made him seem like a 12-year old child instead of 18-year old boy. (Also the narrator in the audiobook was tough to listen to in addition to the weird writing.)
There were at least two sex scenes that were incredibly painful to read. Both of which were super unhealthy and I'm not sure how you recover from them. He didn't have an ounce of emotion in his entire body and every moment that could even be classified as cute or emotional he immediately turned it sexual.
