Althea & Oliver by Cristina Moracho
1.0
Recommendation: If you're absolutely set on reading this book borrow it from the library because it's not worth spending money on.
Review: The story itself is really a combination of several different plot lines that don't really match. It's randomly chopped together. Truthfully could have been a good story if two of the plots had been separated into different books. Multiple plots aside, the author ignores the fact that a girl raping a guy (yes rape) is justifiable. Then the characters are able to magically move past it. It doesn't acknowledge that fact that it's actually horrific what happened and that suddenly the boy is okay with it and "move on". I say B.S. to that. There was potential for this book but it dropped off into a cavity of a unpromising story.
