Fabulous, gripping, and a killer voice. It's an engrossing and harsh-but-funny read as well as a thought-provoking exploration of how sex and violence affect young people. Read it. You won't regret it.
Disclaimer: I am friends with Carrie and I was a pre-reader for part of Perfectly Good White Boy while she was writing it. She gave me a copy of the books as a gift. I am not being compensated in anyway for this honest review. Trigger Warnings: The book contains mentions of abortion, and has two s...
I almost didn't read this. The blurb had a bit of a catch, but it made Evan sound like your typical player in the new adult genre. This book is more YA than New Adult. Evan is technically in high school throughout. I also thought that the title was flashy and attention grabbing, but made me think th...
When Sean went to that party, he wasn’t expecting to hook up with the likes of Hallie. Not pretty Hallie. It was an accident which started with a Frisbee, moved along rather quickly and soon they were a couple. Hallie got under my skin right away with her bossy attitude but I figured that had to do ...
***Virtually spoiler-free!*** One-sentence review: Beautiful and so real, this is the deceptively simple story of a boy stumbling and staggering toward maturity, but with a mesmerizing internal grace. What? Lizzie Bennet is writing a spoiler-free review? I know, the world must be ending, right? ...
What I found most satisfying and moving with Mesrobain’s Sex and Violence was the pure honesty of the characters. This book is for mature readers as the language and the subject matter is forthright and open, nothing is covered up. It’s real and it’s all contained within these pages if you can ha...
SEX & VIOLENCEAt first you don’t see the connection...And then you get the absolute living shit beaten out of you for fucking with the wrong girl! Well, that’s not entirely true, said girl had an arsehole ex that couldn’t accept that she was no longer his & he had an equally arseholey friend that w...
1.5 starsIt is difficult to rate this book as it was near impossible to actually like any of the characters. There were glimmers of hope for Evan's character but ultimately I failed to see much actual growth and definitely did not witness any moral growth. Yes, Evan eventually overcomes his PTSD and...
It’s more than coping, though the same makes up a big portion of this. Sure, half of this is about where he’s going but the other half is where he’s been; a lot of this is how the latter’s shaped (redirected?) the former, so that there are stretches of Evan figuring out who he was, where he is, and ...
