This book will haunt me for a while. I was so conflicted as a woman who has always been taught that a relationship like this is wrong. Period. No exceptions. But as a person who had much of the same elements of wavy’s childhood, I get it. I get it. I feel I need to..
There are probably readers out there who could follow along through the evolving love story between a very young girl and a much older man, but I couldn’t. I realize this says as much about me as the author. I was nt sure at the end of the novel if the relationship was “ugly” or..

I almost gave up on this book early. I have listened to way too many audiobooks and it has made me very skeptical and critical. I am so glad I stuck with it! It is a tragedy, a love story, therapy and a beautiful picture of redemption. This book will take you on an emotional..

This story keeps you holding on and the ending doesn’t disappoint! Never expected what was actually going on!
The performer was wonderful. The book started off good. It took you into this dysfunctional world.

But it slowly turned into a Pedophile disgusting situation that I could no longer listen too. Very..
This had been on my wish list for awhile so when I saw it on kindle unlimited along with the audible I jumped on the chance. I was getting ready for a trip so to have both available was a treat. A treat until I started listening. I loved the storyline- well love might not..
I loved this book. The title is very apt and, while there were plenty of disturbing scenes and themes, I applaud the author’s bravery and talent in writing something so beautiful but at times very uncomfortable and downright upsetting. For those saying this book glorifies pedophilia, I disagree. I think it’s a good reminder that..
Disturbing portrayal of a pedophile grooming a child. The story is well written however the subject is closer to porn for pedophiles. I had to look up the author to make sure it wasn’t a smarmy old man. Some of Wavys dialog sounded like a letter to the equivalent of pedophile penthouse forum and not..
Review from Forever, Jack →
The people reading the story have a good voices to listen to, and the overall story the continuation of the first book. It’s just so very well done and I would like to listen some more and I didn’t want it to end. If they do make this into a movie I would definitely go..
I loved the narrator. She was able to create different voices for each character that were amazing and kept me interested. The story was good, a lot of sexual parts but overall a good story that kept you captivated until the very end.
