Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
1.0
Oh my God I don’t even know where to start with this book I actually read it twice to make sure I wasn’t imagining things the first time. OK first off literally in the first chapter the best friend character Dana (a high schooler) ends up sleeping with a full on adult during a wedding- excuse me what the actual fuck.
Then there is B.T.B and listen I appreciate in an attempt of Nurodivergent representation but honestly this character came off so poorly researched that it didn’t feel like representation it felt like a stereotype.
The writing wasn’t bad but it felt like the author wasn’t sure of what a teenager sounds like and it was kind of awkward at some points
