amengels 's review for:

The Anti-Virginity Pact by Katie Wismer
2.0

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

DNF at 30%. This book is trying to talk about too many topics. It feels unfocused and like all of the topics aren't going to be wrapped up. From reading reviews, a lot of readers feel that way.

I wasn't a fan of Mare as a character. I definitely didn't like Johanna and I don't like how her student-teacher relationship dreams are being introduced. It's frustrating that Mare isn't willing to be mad at her friend for wanting to have sex with a teacher. It also doesn't seem like the teacher was doing themselves any favors. The male teachers I know keep their doors open when female students are in their rooms.

The writing is good and I'd be willing to try Katie's future books. I just want them to be more focused.
