First off, If you have Amazon Kindle, you can get this book for freeee.
Back to it.
My husband and I recently went to a comedy show at the ever lovely Beau Rivage (yes my tickets were free because that’s where I go do my little side hobby).
As we are basically on the back wall (that’s where they put all the degenerates) watching Christina P. She says something that was so funny and very accurate.
Now this won’t be verbatim, but you’ll get the gist.
This topic she was speaking on was about the show Euphoria. But it rings true with fictional books/movies.
She said something along the lines of, “are we supposed to feel disgusted with ourselves, thoroughly enjoying this show with drugs and sex OR because we know they’re adults ACTING as teenagers are we supposed to feel better about the fact we love it so damn much?”
Sooo this is the same for books with me.
Should I be disgusted when there’s a steamy sex scene when they are teenagers in this book?
OR
Because it’s fictional, is it okay?
I don’t know why the answer seems so important because I’m going to continue watching Euphoria and reading my sex books.
But the question does seem valid.
The Author of this book is Eden O’Neil – title is they the pretty stars
First and foremost – I won’t spoil the book.
This book is a 4 part series and I already read her other 4 part series. So if there’s any interest in asking if that series is worth reading, I’ll gladly comment on it.
My husband chose these series for me ( which is really trusting of me ) and let me tell you what. He, and the books, did not disappoint.
BUT there are a quite a few things I didn’t really care for on this particular book compared to her others.
Her style of writing is FANTASTIC. her placement of words and the directional flow is written very well.
She uses words like “Hella”(which I say often and my husband makes fun of me π) and “dicking around” (another fan favorite in my vocabulary”).
Of course there was a lot of typos π¬ but they don’t write for us non editors to edit.
Even though this book is fictional, she writes about things that happen in our actual lives.
Be that, fall outs with family, bullying in school, and going on a journey to figure out who you want to become. As well as finding out who has your back and who doesn’t.
I know all of that hits home with some more than others but that’s real live shit.
And Eden O’Neil did a great job.
Now onto the differences of her books.
Her last books had quite a bit more sex in it. I mean some steamy sex where you felt like you were apart of it. That’s the good shit.
If I can’t feel I’m apart of it or it doesn’t turn me on a little, I’m a bit disappointed.
Okay, I said I wouldn’t spoil but I am going to comment on one part in her book. Because if you like it too, you’ll definitely want to read her other books.
There’s a particular part where a girl hears some moans and peeks to see where this handsome guy has his arm above his head, and a red head on her knees in front of him.
Yes, he’s getting a bjibbers.
As she’s watching him receive his bjibbers he’s looking right at her. And she doesn’t look away.
If that little bit above didn’t get you even a little excited, then you should probably not read any of her books.
So even though she doesn’t have a particularly large amount of fun sex scenes in this book. It was a book I didn’t want to put down. They’re not the longest books, but her break down in all her series I’ve read, it ends up being a good thing.
I hope anyone who took the time to read this got a little insight into her first book of the series. If you read it, I’d love to hear your comments.
With me being a new blogger, I’m not quite sure how much to put out there and how much to keep to myself. All input would be greatly appreciated!
Yall have the best day!
