I feel very conflicted about this book. I didn't want to like it because of what the topic is, but I kind of did. It wasn't amazing. It wasn't bad. It was haunting. It was interesting. It was heartbreaking. Not what I expected at all. The incest portion isn't exactly romanticized. The main characters acknowledge the wrongness of it, however, they also push past the wrongness and do it anyways and it is portrayed as romantic? It's an extremely complicated book and I really have no idea how to explain it. My emotions are kind of a jumbled up, tangled, confused mess. I'm not sure how I feel about Forbidden. I just know that it's far from a forgettable novel.
