From Scratch - Alles neu mit dir by Stacey Kade
4.0
Well, that was not what I expected.
This was sitting on my to-read shelf, and came available as audio. I didn't quite recall why I wanted to read it, but the summary sounded like a YA type I delve into occasionally.
Nope.
It started out exactly how you expected, and you saw the ending coming a mile away. But, there were two unexpected twists...minor spoilers ahead!
1. This gets steamy. Super steamy. And Kade doesn't shy away from being descriptive. And her euphemisms are few, and appropriate when used. It doesn't get annoyingly raunchy, nor is it trying to dance around something. But whew. Definitely not YA.
2. While the ending was exactly what I expected, I fully appreciated the twist. Not going to give it away fully, but you think you know. And then you realize you missed a bit.
Well done, and without any experience on the subject myself, it seemed genuine and accurate (or as accurate as can be...it is fiction that involves a rape survivor and celebrity hook-up). Well done, and would recommend...but carefully. Because steamy!
