Download And Enjoy The Mythic Koda Rose By Jennifer Nissley File Format Document
in love with the most unexpected person, Koda Rose is the daughtr of a rock star and shes in love with her best friend, While searching for answers about her dad and dealing with her complicated emotions for her best friend she meets her dads exgirlfriend, Sadie Pasquale, . and so begins a romantic relationship, You heard me, this is a story about a teenage girl falling in love with her dads adult exgirlfriend, Color me baffled. I did not even see it coming, I went into this book pretty blind and now I am just speechless, All I can think about is the scene from the office with Ryan and Stanley
Keep in mind Koda isand Sadie is, I get that they both miss her dad but then they kiss Mam have you lost your mind THIS IS A CHILD, Suffice to say I would not recommend this book haha, Okay this was really not what i expected when i started this book,
It was entertaining eh yeah, But i was also like "what the fuck" When i realized what was going to happen and then IT HAPPENED,
It's not only about the weird relationship between Koda and Sadie, it's about how the people around them didn't tell them "hey! This is weird, this is wrong, this is toxic".
I know Teddy and Lidsay said it to them but they didn't KNOW the extent of the relationship, so i guess if they knew they would have been more insistent of keeping them away.
The level of dependency they had for each other was sickening, the difference of age was sickening, the fact Sadie insisted to keep Koda around was sickening, Koda isolating herself because of Sadie was sickening.
I want to believe the writer wanted to portray it as wrong but it wasn't explicit enough that the characters understood themselves how wrong it was, And when i thought it was going in a good path and they were about to stay away of each other, the last chapter implied they were going to keep in contact Sorry but i need Koda to WAKE UP !! And realize there is nothing normal about that relationship.
I started this book expecting a lot more of Koda and Lindsay, that was the relationship i wanted to read while Koda started this journey of finding out who was her father and by the way she didn't learn very much about him.
I know she was away and obviously if they kept contact during the book, Sadie wouldn't have gotten that close of Koda,
I know we want more lgbt content, i know gay couples can be toxic too and I KNOW not everything has to be perfect but i need people to use their platform to share stories where at least the characters end up learning when a relationship is bad for them.
this was absolutely terrible and only got worse as it went on So, I went into this only knowing that the mc is sapphic and honestly Im sort of glad I did, since I found that this was something I really needed to form my own opinion on.
These characters are messy and for good reason, And normally I loveeee me some messy characters, But I really wish that messiness was resolved in the end because tbh, it never really went away, While I appreciate that this is true to life, I just think that in a YA book, there should be a stronger message or an authors note clearly stating that this codependency isnt okay.
Sure, the mc did sort of figure it out for herself in the end, but I would have really appreciated seeing an adult guide her through that because these relationships are hard and no one should have to navigate them alone.
It does attempt to show how toxic this relationship is, and I appreciated that, I just wish we couldve seen more outside perspectives that couldve helped Koda get out sooner or at least communicated to the reader that this is bad news, God bless Lindsay, though, girlie deserved so much better!
I will say I did really appreciate the anxiety/heartburn depiction! As a fellow heartburn anxiety sufferer who had no idea the two were connected until they became a real issue for me, I found it extremely true to my experience.
So yeah, for anyone going into this book: Be aware that it does feature an extremely unhealthy relationship between aandyear old that we as readers are meant to know isnt okay, but this is never fully made clear.
And ouryear old mc never sees anything wrong with itwhich, while true to life, I really wish had changed at some point towards the end! Also her relationship with her mother is pretty codependent too, but I feel like thats addressed a bit better in the comparison to Lindsays parents.
As another reviewer said, I do understand what the author was trying to do here, and I think these topics are extremely important and should be talked about more! Seriously yall, codependency is such a real thing that flies under the radar FAR too often.
I really wanted to love this, but I was overall left feeling uncomfy and like many others, wishing things were handled better,
tw: suicide off page but major theme, toxic predatory relationship, codependency, depression, anxiety, drug use, drug addiction, drug overdose, blood, vomit, smoking I seriously don't know why I continued reading it instead of DNFing it.
Like, I didn't know what was happening half of the times and other half times I was cringing, This story would've been perfect if Koda and Lindsay ended up together, It does feels like there's going to be a sequel to the story, but personally I don't think now I have enough patience to read it, I am not into age gap romance so it was basically the reason I didn't enjoy it much, The Mythic Koda Rose is a compulsive and thoughtprovoking book executed in some very intriguing topics, The book explores the identity of the characters, faith and what it means to truly open yourself to another figure,
This was a fierce novel, dazzling, heartbreaking and well developed main character Koda Rose, her feelings are very emotional and the Author has done a great job to resonate them in an engaging prose!
.
Koda Rose is a seventeen Year old, she is the child of a dead rockstar Mack Grady, she lives in Los Angeles but the story begins when she and her mother move to New York city, Jennifer Nissley's sophisticated novel dices into the complexed lives of the characters, the relationships with one another, Nissley's observations are vivid and unique and it captures some mindblowing emotions!
.
In New York City Koda meets her father's ex girlfriend Sadie and they get to talk about her father's life more that she could read in articles and newspapers! The Mythic Koda Rose is a profound, radiantly alive and insightful, the emotional moments explored within the chapters is so outstanding and brutally honest that I enjoyed it, Jennifer has written a very intriguing novel that will make a lot of people feel the special ingredients that she has put in and I loved it so much, this one was a/and I highly recommend it to everyone for fans of Adam Silvera and Jennifer Dugan.
I picked up this book thinking it was a cute YA romance, . . It is not that at all, It's a messy book with messy characters and relationships,
Koda and her mum's relationship truly felt like one a kid and her mom in that situation would have: kind of symbiotic, almost too good, which gets rocky when the kid hits the early adult years.
Both learn from their mistakes and how they evolve, Also, there's this unconditional love a mum has for her kid, and the weird limit between letting them fly and fall, and being too controlling,
Now to the very very very peculiar and weird relationship between Koda and Sadie, I don't think it was meant to he seen as a healthy relationship, Especially not romantic considering Sadie is twice as old as Koda AND her dead dad's ex, The messed up connection they developed post dad's suicide made me think a lot at how our judgement can be clouded so easily when our hearts and childhood issues are concerned.
I think that the romance between them was supposed to be toxic and really not okay, Koda's a queer almostyears old kid trying to find out more about her father through this woman, who is herself a drug addict who sees the love
of her lifw in Koda.
Bad things happen when you are in so deep, Did it make me uncomfortable Absolutely, but it made me think even more about the meaning of this book, I rooted for the characters to find happiness and finally start healing, .
