Ella あいみ M.'s Reviews > Tomboy

This book was a mistake. Don't read this book. I would rate this negative 100 stars if I could. This was one of the worst reads I had this year. I didn't even want to acknowledge the existence of this book with a review, but after a lot of thought, I decided it was only right to warn people about it. I used to not add books that had unpalatable content to my shelves, but I always felt uncomfortable thinking that so many people might read those books because they had no one to warn them. I don't want to have books with that kind of content on my read shelf. But at the same time I also feel that if I know that something is wrong, then it's my responsibility to warn people against it and stand up for what's right. I feel like that's what God would want me to do, too. Especially because this book's intended audience is teens and young adults, I felt it necessary to take a stand.

The fact that some people actually gave this book a good review is beyond me. *gags* I can't find one good thing about it. Even if you don't agree with my views, the fact remains that the writing and story-telling skills are absolutely horrible.

I can't believe anyone would expose such loathsome, vile, scandalous content to their readers. It's shameful. No person in their right mind should want to read this, and no kid should ever even read this stuff. This story should never have seen the light of day.

Amazon recommended this book to me (I have no idea why) and since it was free, I decided to just read a chapter or two to see how I'd like it. A few pages in, and I was already ready to put it down, but I finished chapter 1 so I could have better scope to write a review. This book was immoral, excessively and disgustingly sexual, sickening, whatever you'd like to call it. It made me feel terrible reading, and I could not go on after chapter 1. The characters are all sensual and horrible and only care about people's outward appearances and seem to have nothing at all in their hearts or brains. The MC was terrible and odious and inordinately immature. I'm the same age as her, so you can't say I just don't get it. I can't believe how disgustingly immature the characters are.

From the very start of the book, you get LGBTQ elements, underage sex (and they do it secretly), and every bit of lustful pursuit.

This type of book should never be published. It teaches kids all the wrong things. What was the author thinking to put such content in a YA book? The world is already much too full of immorality and the mindset of sensuality without someone publishing a book like this. There is no lesson or moral in this story. Everything is just about the teens' lust for sex. It made me sick.
