Ok, this book made me so mad! I know, I know, I shouldn’t judge unless I’ve been in her shoes, but guess what? I have. And I took a different path but I am absolutely judging over here. Honestly, this book was just a little too close to home and I think they were all very immature and just plain stupid. I mean, you ran away? Really? Then you had your girl join you because you didn’t know what to do? Putting her in a difficult situation herself? I found that especially selfish on her part.
Look, I’m sorry but if you were old enough to have the sex, you should have been old enough to deal with what could have happened. And I know I’m all preachy over here and her parents were grade A douchebags but ugh. It is not really so dramatic as it was made to sound. Five pages for us to learn her big bad secret! And its not even that big of a deal. At least it wasn’t when I was a kid. But I may have just been brought up differently.
Then the engagement. ROTFL. For a book that is so ‘real’ this was just plain laughable. I’m gonna stop now because I’ll just work myself up. Suffice it so say if these were my kids… you know what, nevermind, they aren’t. Thank god.
Incredibly dissappointed in this and don’t think I will be reading anymore in this series.
Yikes! Sorry this one hit a nerve with you.
