Explanation Supposing Books Forbidden
She is pretty and talented - sweet sixteen and never been kissed. He is seventeen; gorgeous and on the brink of a bright future. And now they have fallen in love. But... they are brother and sister.Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so completely—has also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a love this devastating has no happy ending.

How can something so wrong feel so right? Dont bring children to the world if you dont want them, or won't take good care of them! * For both mothers and fathers.3.5 stars because I predicted things that would happen along the last 20% of the book.Buddy read with my fav, Amira! (Click if you want to check out her review).TRIGGER-WARNING: Abuse (emotional) and incest.This book has an interesting and heart-breaking topic to discuss "Love between siblings, especially between a brother and aActual Rating 4.5 starsI truly enjoyed this book.It is tragic, painful and beautiful. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND IT. It is a fantastic book, it makes you HURT, it makes you THINK, QUESTION; and I am sure it causes controversies for many people.I know that is classified as a young-adult book, but despite the fact that the main characters are teenagers I dont really think that young-adults are the best audience, in fact I believe this book can be better understood, savored and felt if the readers
So Wrong It's Right... Shit. This book was... Shit. Im at a loss of words, so emotionally drained that I am actually cursing. And I never Curse. Period. So shit.This book reminds me of Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher; not in the story, they are total and complete opposites, but the same feeling afterwards. A hollow in me, at the pit of my stomach, hands shaking and my heart nowhere in sight. It was an Amazing book. Not the kind of amazing where Im jumping up and down begging you to read it,
I am out on my own little limb here in saying I did not care for this book *waves to all my goodreads buds who love it to the max*It is not the subject matter that irked me but rather the heavy-handed and melodramatic way in which it was handled. This book, IMO, is the equivalent to a daytime drama* ~ complete with sappy character names (Lochan, Maya, Kit, Tiffin and Willa are the children), over-wrought "true love" sentiments, parental issues of alcoholism, abandonment and abuse, and an
After reading recent comments, I feel the need to stress an important point about this book: it is not about accepting incest. It's not a book like Flowers in the Attic or How I Live Now where incest is romanticised. It is a sad story about the danger of dysfunctional families and should never be regarded as another angsty tale of forbidden love, even though the title suggests otherwise.So, first let me say that this was a very brave book to tackle such a controversial subject matter and the
So, About Taboo Subjects in YA LiteratureOr: Do Teenagers Really Use the Word Ensconced?Somewhere deep in the world of technical things I dont really understand, there is an algorithm that persisted in listing Forbidden in almost every shelf of personalised recommendations. Based on my previous reading and shelving habits, it insisted that I should read this book. But I dug my heels in: Stop trying to make Forbidden happen, Goodreads. Its Not. Going. To. Happen. (Because I have a pretty good
three stars is indicative of my personal enjoyment of the book, but that does not change the fact that this author has done something extraordinary, and this book should probably be read by most people. let's call this 3 3/4 stars for fun.why did i read this?? duh, obviously, i wanted to see what kind of writing chops this lady had to think she could write a Y/A book about brother-sister incest. how do you market the taboo to the teen set? this is the same impulse that made me read living dead
