Maise has always only relied on one person: herself. Her deadbeat father has long since been out of the picture and she lives with her junkie/dealer mother. Maise O’Malley has recently turned eighteen. What did you get for number four? Is falling in love with someone twice your age gross, weird, amazing, or all of the above? I was still a teenager, and part of being a teenager was constantly checking your answers against everyone else’s. Yet this was the first time in which one detail completely ruined my enjoyment for a book. It gave me an honest and raw insight of a more physical and taboo relationship, which is unlike anything I’ve ever read before.
