You do find out later that she shared some of those same feelings for Adam! Which is also weird... He does fall for Carly and that seems to relieve some of the pressure from the Adam/Jo thing but for me, it still kinda lingered in the back of my mind whenever they conversed.B Creech wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 19:10He falls hard for Carly and soon his step-mom is just his mom. I was weirded out about it too.Njkinny wrote: ↑21 Feb 2020, 11:55 Adam’s fascination with JoAnn made me uncomfortable and had me thinking that this book should have been categorised in the Adult category, not YA. Please someone tell me if he improves further down the book because I am still undecided if I should continue reading it.
Right? Like... if this is where the author is starting us off, who knows what's coming up! (frankly, I'm still a little nervous haha... probably why I am most likely not gonna read the next one.. maybe)
Adam watching Carly shower and her just pretending he wasn't there is still one of the weirdest scenes I've ever read in any book, let alone a YA novel...Howlan wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 08:37Yes the weird sexual overtones were really unnessesary.
I know. Part of me says not to bother reading the next one, but another part wants to find out where it all goes next!
I think Adam would fall foe Joann. He is already developing feeling for his step mum uncontrollablly.
Exactly! I kinda wanna know how this car crash endsB Creech wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020, 19:35I know. Part of me says not to bother reading the next one, but another part wants to find out where it all goes next!
And I don't even care for sci-fi!!
I agree! I really think that bringing girls to his den would become a regular occurance and he would eventually act on his feelings for his mom... Especially since she has similar impulses/feelings for him.rbrochhausen wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020, 21:55 If Carly hadn't come into the scene I think Adam would've kept spiraling out of control. His feelings towards his mother were not normal and he didn't know how to handle himself. I think his emotions would have got the better of him and he would keep acting out in worse and worse ways.
I totally agree.AvocaDebo621 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020, 22:45 Adam had already developed a disturbing obsession with his stepmom, but when later she reciprocated his feelings, I just cringed pretty hard. Such confusing contents should not be a part of a YA book.
Joann is not his step mom.. she adopted him and he grew up thinking she was his real mom.
I was a little put off by that relationship as well, but a little further in the book that attraction is explained. It doesn't make it completely okay, but it is a bit more tolerable.
Hmmm... ok. Good to know, thanks for sharingCatreeves16 wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 13:01I was a little put off by that relationship as well, but a little further in the book that attraction is explained. It doesn't make it completely okay, but it is a bit more tolerable.
