A review by caribbeangirlreading
The People We Keep by Allison Larkin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.
When I DNF a book I usually only give it one or two stars but I'm feeling generous. I want to be fair, because this book is just too YA for my taste. I also had a lot of empathy for April because the adults in her life sucked. Unfortunately, that empathy did not translate to curiosity about how her story ended. The ick factor from the sexually inappropriate relationship was just too much for me. I still do not understand how many people in the book world are so offended by infidelity in fiction but so many who reviewed this book just ignored the fact that a 16yo lied to an almost 30yo man about her age and then shacked up with him.
