The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
I should’ve known from the first page this would be a yikes read. The descriptions used when taking about a 13 year old girl who just reached puberty made my skin crawl. But I gave the book a chance because I was so excited for it. But was hit with the next chapter about an16 year old boy having sex with a man 20 YEARS OLDER than him. And the book treated it like it was fine by indulging in graphic sexual details. I had to remind myself he was 16 because the author wrote it like any other smut scene. Not an adult taking advantage of a minor.! I’ve only seen one review pointing this out. I wish I knew this going in because it was really triggering.
