Swear on This Life
by Renée Carlino
I’ll admit, the writing on this one was actually really good. And for the most part this was actually a really good story. For that, I’ll give it four stars. However, this book didn’t sit well with me in many ways, because of the continued emphasis that was put on cheating being ok. I’ve never been a fan of books that glorify cheating. Whether it be emotional or physical. But this book is littered with instances and characters who cheat both emotionally, and physically because of trauma, them chasing their past, and being undecided about their future. And even worse, the supporting characters, don’t seem to be bothered by the continued poor life choices of their counterparts. in fact, in many instances, they approve of it and encourage it. I get that it’s just a story, but it’s a sad part of life that I think shouldn’t be overlooked.
