When We Were Young by Anna BenoitMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I received this free eARC novel from Netgalley. This is my honest review.
Nope. Nope, nope, nope. I don't do books with rape in it and in this book, Livvy gets raped by her boyfriend twice and I quit at chapter 22. Especially after the second time when she thinks "this is my life now". NO!!!
No one deserves that and for her to be so broken she can't go to anyone, I just can't handle that.
Plus the synopsis made it seem like Livvy and Jack were attracted to each other, but Jack had his own issues to deal with when it cane to his girlfriend Delia. Jack really only wanted to be with her for sex and he connected more with Livvy on a personal level.
I was only 50% through this book and knew I couldn't deal with it anymore. I really wanted to see what happened with Jack and Livvy but it definitely wasn't with it.
So, anyone else who doesn't like book with descriptive rape scenes, I advise to not pick up this book.
