Wolfsong by TJ Klune
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
Oh man.
This book is SO well written and I love everything else by Klune. The first several chapters I thought it was shaping up to be an all-time favorite. But I didn't realize it would be the kind of werewolf stuff in the category of "oh I imprinted on you when I was 10 and you were 16" and actually turn into a relationship while the younger of the two was still a minor (I think it was heading relationship at least; the start of them confessing attraction to one another at 23/17 was when I DNF'd).
I feel about this like I felt about the movie Licorice Pizza, which is that it's probably a work of art, a top best-crafted piece, and by a creator I really adore, but wtf is going on with the age gap, no thank you.
Not writing off Klune because I love his other stuff so much and I think he wrote this one awhile ago but feeling v relieved to DNF despite the quality of the writing.
Also, no judgment if you enjoyed this, I see why based on the narrative quality and it's no worse than like, Jacob imprinting on a baby in Twilight, I guess; this is just a personal and visceral boundary that was a hard no for me.
