I am also feeling the same and am undecided. I keep thinking if showing Adam like this is really necessary and considering it is a YA book, just plain weird and shocking.

Yeah, there are some really weird and uncomfortable details in this book... most of it is pretty YA but then there are sentences that are just outrageous to have in a YA book.
P.S I love your profile pic!

They DO kinda explain why Adam has those thoughts, but it was a pretty weak explanation in my opinion. For the most part, it's just kinda cringy... but there are some weird sexual details that don't really serve a purpose to the story. They definitely made me pause andNjkinny 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.

I completely agree. It is just plain weird and it is making me want to quit this book. I don't know what to do!

I would not say that he had fallen for her. He had an unusual attraction towards her.

No, Adam like this is definitely not necessary. It is just the author adding some unusual toches to darken his character.

I would not say that Adam's character improves that much but I would say that the story is not as disappointing as you think it to be.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.

Yes the weird sexual overtones were really unnessesary.
