At first Daisy and her cousins aren't even bothered, yes their mother is stranded in Oslo and possibly dead but who cares when you have the whole farm to yourself. I was excited for this to happen, it would shake things up and make it interesting. Nope, cousins doing it is apparently totally normal to all in England - Can you detect the sarcasm?
They obviously are attracted to each other and have feelings for each other but you would think at least one of the other cousins would question it. But the fact that none of the other family seem bothered that a fourteen year old and fifteen year old who are related are having sex regularly. They are cousins, but did not grow up together as a family so I can live with the fact that they are okay with being with each other. Edmond would be the kind of kid who, if I saw him walking down the street I would want to grab his parents and be like, what have you done?Īs I've mentioned we already know that Daisy and Edmond fall in love. Also, the fact that he just casually drives around and smokes all the time at fourteen and his mother doesn't seem at all bothered utterly perplexed me. Now the thought of a fourteen year old having sex actually turns my stomach, I think if they were both fifteen it wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much. It's the fact that Edmond is a fourteen year old boy, boy who smokes and drives and has sex. Now here's one of the major problems I had with the book and it's not the fact that they are cousins. This is where we meet her love interest Edmond. Now in merry old England she meets her Aunt and cousins for the first time. Even Daisy's eating disorder because she first stopped eating out of a fear that Davina would poison her food, because that is what step-mothers do. This is obviously because of the stereotypical evil step-mother that is Davina the Diabolical - it is all her fault. Daisy has been sent off to England, to relatives she has never met and doesn't know, by her father.
But Daisy's name is not Daisy, of course not, why would it be? Daisy's name is Elizabeth, but as it is too much of a dignified, old-fashioned name for her, she likes to go by the more plain Daisy. From the tiny chapter one, where we are introduced to our main character Daisy. I should have known, right from the very beginning, that I was going to dislike this book. I am always going to be honest in my reviews so I will try to explain why I hated this book so much without giving away any major spoilers. It angered me so much but it also bored me the hell out of me as well. In fact, I would go so far as to say I actually hated this book.
I am sorry to all those people who told me that they really enjoyed this book.
