A review by jackyinthebox
Bitter Fruits by Alice Clark-Platts

2.0

If I had taken a shot every time this author used the word "troll" or "trolling" I would have gotten as shitfaced as the little assholes in this book were always getting. While Erica Martin seems like a pretty flat character who really could have been fleshed out more if she's going to carry a continuing series (which seeing as there is a second book coming out this year I'm assuming she will be) it was an still an interesting story. Unfortunately, all I kept thinking of was how little it seemed like the author knew about young adults.



Also I wasn't really a fan of how this book treated sexuality and the idea of young adults (and girls especially) exploring how they felt about sex and love and everything that comes with it. It almost gets kinda after-school special-y with the constant lecturing from different characters about how girls should respect themselves more and not take off their clothes for boys.
