Well this is all over the place.
I like the fight that Adrianna has. I think most of us would’ve given up in a lot of these scenarios, but she didn’t which made me like her character so much more.
I think Kova is a hard ass and sometimes a real asshole, so I hope he becomes more likable throughout the rest of the series.

Now I’ve seen A LOT of comments/reviews of people being like…
This is rape
He’s a pedophile
She’s only 15 and he’s 32

I don’t know the story or the controversy of whatever happened in the gymnastics world that got everybody up in arms about this book but…
I would like to remind everyone that this is a work of fiction. Would we be okay with most of the stuff that happens in this book (or all books for that matter) if it happened irl?
No
Do we find it intriguing in these books that we read?
Yes

Also I read this on KU and she’s 16 at first and nothing happens until she turns 17 I don’t know what the “law” in Georgia is but I still think everybody needs to calm down.
