Trust Exercise

Thick read and unexpectedly raunchy from first passages.  Felt a bit like something needed to happen after all of the character building, otherwise just a graphic teenage puppy love story with pretty cliché of a ‘development' later in the book.  Had all of the tropes and story beats of a cookie cutter high school romance story and never really became clear what the plot/moral/point of novel is.  It even got a bit boring and confusing at times with the writer's style, as it was a struggle to figure out what's happening underneath all of the prose that came off like waffling filler.  This made it almost purposely vague at times where it became hard to understand what was actually being said or happening.
