FORBIDDEN by Tabitha Suzuma
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 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.

I have to gush a bit, because this may well be my favorite book of the year. The writing and story of FORBIDDEN are amazing. If you think you will be put off by the subject matter, consider giving it a chance. You won't regret it.

I totally agree with you that the writing on this was really good and I look forward to seeing what else this author writes. But the subject matter on this one was a bit rough for me.
ReplyDeleteI've heard this is a good book even though the topic is a bit hard for people to read about. I'm curious. Thanks for the giveaway!
