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.
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...
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 ...
I told myself not that long ago that one of the things I wanted to start doing more was reading darker contemporaries about tougher subjects. I've read a couple this year and they are working out REALLY well. There are some things I will never be able to read about, but when I read the blurb for Sex...
Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Trigger Warnings and Some Words about Sex in YA/NA fiction This book addresses the aftermath of violence and sexual assault, as well as the devastating effects of PTSD. If the mentions of these topics are a poten...
Initial reaction: Yeah, I'll have to think about this one. Evan's account and voice was very good, I definitely appreciated the story on many levels as to how it pulled me into the narrative and didn't let go. I did have a few issues with it, but overall, I really liked this first read from Carri...
