To be frank, I did not expect this book to be this h*rny. Like dammm, all these people do is think about bonking each other all the time.

A waitress came over to pour my coffee? I'd like to bonk her. My dad's friend just came over? I'm gonna bonk him. My coach asked me to drive his wife to the doctor? Yep, we're gonna bonk. A literal cow? Why not bonk.

I guess it is a testament to small-town life, or more specifically, small town in rural Texas during the 50's life. That's a Christian recipe for self-depriving disaster.

There were moments of this coming of age tell that were powerful, sweet, and painful. As the few young characters graduate high school and try to forge a future for themselves, they realize that life is not what it seemed, that adulthood is weird and complicated. You feel washed up as you age, adult relationships are complex, and you can't always get what you want.
