smutty_queen 's review for:
Oleander
by Scarlett Drake
Scarlett’s writing is always so emotional and beautiful, and that’s exactly what this story was.
Jude was so relatable. His self exploration and life journey was beautiful to witness. I would have loved some Cas POVs, but that would have been so tough to read. It was hard enough to go through the heartbreak from Jude’s POV but add abuse on top of it?! My poor baby Cas.
Some of these reviews ain’t it. How do y’all read 600+ pages and not realize Cas was abused and manipulated?! I can forgive Jude for not realizing it because he was also 15, but y’all are grown ass adults reading this book and hating a child for being groomed. Weird behavior.
I will forever recommend Scarlett’s books to people. She’s such a rare writer with this extraordinary talent to hit you right in the soul. I knew she was special after reading Hamartia, but this was on another level.
I’ll never forget this book.
