Tampa by Alissa Nutting
Well. Let's just say it was a very strong way to start the month and christen by brand new Kindle (!). I've been wanting to read this for a while, but I didn't want to buy it because I wasn't sure what my reaction would be--it's probably good that I held off.
I want to make it clear that I didn't dislike this book because of the content. I believe that everything should be explored in media, and the people who say this book is inherently problematic and encouraging of pedophilia didn't finish it. The reason it got a 2.5 was because the writing style sucked shit. It felt more like a writing exercise than a fully fleshed out story with complex characters, and I don't want to root for Celeste, but there needs to be a little more there. / ★★½
