3.5 / 5
i would have loved this even more if it didn’t include a minor. it tackled a multitude of different queer problems while coming of age.
i wouldn’t go as far as calling the main character a pedophile. seeing how the age gap truly did make her uncomfortable. but i would call her desperate. desperate for someone who would understand her and accept their sexuality openly. she found that in a kid, sadly, and stuck with. it was really a story of two unfortunate people finding comfort within each other.
the ending felt rushed, wasn’t a favorite but an easy read.
