Tell Me a Lie by Brianna Flores
Did not finish book.
63% DNF- Woooooooww what the fuuuuuck. I was willing to struggle through this borderline uncomfortable age gap, but this power imbalance is all sorts of fucked up and makes the age gap so much worse. Lucas is such an ASS - he straight up calls Sage a slut bc Sage recieved a phone number from someone who was flirting with HIM - and this is while Lucas and Sage's relationship is undefined and there's like ZERO communication happening. I hate these two MCs together - its clear that Sage has some bigger mental issues going on and Lucas is just a 35yo giant man child who only seems have a vague idea that going after a 19yo is bad, and doesn't even try to be a mature or guiding force while Sage is struggling and his life is in shambles. Calling him a slut had my jaw dropping all the way to hell which is where i hope Lucas is. Fuck this.
Graphic: Homophobia, Mental illness, and Panic attacks/disorders
Moderate: Forced institutionalization and Outing
