This is not a love story. Dani Sommer's relationship with Sorin is a saga—an adrenaline-fueled wild ride of poor decision-making. This book has all the trigger warnings, and Sorin isn't morally grey. He's incredibly hot, manipulative, and abusive. It's do not read in public steamy until it's scary. By going past her limits with Sorin, Dani has a girl-to-woman journey and ends the summer in a better place than she started.Note from the Author
The Townie is a Coming of Age Fiction novel that explores all of the gray that can exist in the belief that you are in control, especially as it relates to grooming, consent, abuse, power dynamics, unequal social status, and addiction. With strong romantic themes, the main male character is never someone you should be rooting for Dani to end up with.
If you think your life is s***, and need to be reminded it could be worse, this book is for you. If you want to yell at the main character, gasp ‘WHAT THE F***?’, and cry, this book is for you too.
