TW: Sexual Abuse
There are so many unrealistic things in this book, but if you look past that the story is enjoyable, even sweet.
There is quite a bit of juvenile talk between them. It just seemed very childish at times.
My biggest annoyance was the fact that the MC kept saying she’s 19 years old. If I remember anything about this book, it will be that Oak is 19 years old. However, I did become clear why this was heavy on his mind toward the end of the book.
When I say slow burn…sloooooooooow burn. Like more than halfway through the book until you get to anything substantial.
The amount of communication these characters shared was refreshing since most of the time authors overuse the miscommunication trope. Although, Oak’s voice did not seem to fit her character much. She was wise like an old soul, but I think the author meant to portray her as more mature and determined. Just another unrealistic part for me.
I was rooting for them toward the end of the book which is always a good sign, but there were just too many unrealistic scenarios that made this book fall short. There were also inconsistencies with the MCs reflections, which made the timeline confusing.
A good short read, but nothing outstanding.
