Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
DNF @ pg 129.
So much of this book I found so highly inappropriate. I understand it’s set in the 1970s, but exposing a kid to talk of sex, naked bodies, and drugs felt like too much for me.
Maybe I’m sensitive as a mother of teenagers, but I would be appalled at the behavior displayed if my kids were in the same situation.
Maybe I’m just not a fan of books where the kids act more like grown adults than the adults do. 🤷🏼♀️
