A review by vampandcoffee
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
1.0
loved this book as a teen and reread it just to be absolutely disappointed :/
(btw i read it in german so parts of the OG book might have gotten lost in translation but looking at other reviews, it seems like the original is 100 times worse)
Because Lads and Gents, we got the whole package with this one!
Not only reads it like a Twilight rip-off, the writing comes just as close.
Moreover, there’s insta-love, trivialization of abuse, misogyny, awful asian stereotypes, transphobia, fatphobia and - INCEST!
How did I ever think this book is good? I want to punch my younger self to oblivion and back.
