I couldn't get past the overly artistic "prose". And this is coming from an English major.
It was far too flowery and almost lyrical. Usually, it works for me-but here, it just felt forced. It read like a fever dream full of clouds of smoke and haze. I'm sure that's kind of the idea, as it's an 18 year old recounting her experience of first love, but it just didn't do it for me sadly.
Also, I really found it hard to get behind Evan. Especially after learning about his past. I LOVE forbidden romance, but this just felt predatory.
