Review: I Want Micha and Ella's Record Unblemished
Rating: 2 out of 5

The story of Ethan and Lila almost put a blemish on Ella and Micha for me. In the first instance how could Lila have been a drug and sex addict for years, and there was no inkling of this in 'Ella and Micha'? Also how could a 14 years old have been raped or have so called 'consensual' sex with a 22 years old and nobody in the society (school or town) reported to the police even if her parents did not? Afterall the whole school heard the story and instead Lila was bullied about it.So Ethan has a love interest that he was still attached to for 80% of the book. To the extent that he is always thinking 'London, Lila, London, Lila', and Lila was still thinking he might love her?This is what we have in the entirety of this book. Dealing with Lila's sex and drug addiction, and Ethan's heart entanglement with another girl. He even have to go and say goodbye to her towards the end before he can fully invest in his relation with Lila. Why? He felt guilty about 'her condition' because he did not stop her effectively enough from shooting heroin into her veins! Yeah, right. Then suddenly towards the end 'euraka!', they love each other. It rang false and I was not able to be emotionally involved in this story as I was with Micha and Ella. I was totally bored with this book. Not worth my time and money.
