1.0

This book is the worst book I have ever read in my entire existence of living, and Miles was the grossest, creepiest “book boyfriend” I have ever encountered. Example A:

“I take a shower in her bathroom. I like this shower. I like it more than I liked it back when it was just my shower. I like seeing her things in here. I like looking at her razor and imagining what she looks like when she uses it. I like looking at her shampoo bottles and thinking about her with her head tilted back beneath the stream of water as she rinses it out of her hair. I love that my shower is her shower, too.”

Example B: The “her” in the preceding passage is Miles’s stepsister. BRO. Excuse me. What???

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Years after the end of his relationship with his stepsister, Miles meets Tate. The morning after they meet, he knows she is something special and creepily watches her as she sleeps in her bed. Please do not tell me there are readers who want this man IRL. Three words: STAGE. FIVE. CLINGER. 

Don’t even get me started on the plot (or lack thereof). I guess if you want to read a book about sex between characters who know absolutely nothing about each other, this is the book for you. I would totally be okay if I never read or heard the name Rachel ever again. Now please excuse me while I go vomit. YUCK!
