• bloody well hate miscommunication man, why couldn’t he just tell her the damn truth about the prison visits
• characters are so immature, they overthink everything and refuse to communicate
• jax was so damn toxic, so pushy and refuses to listen to what brey wants I am not here for it
• I’ll allow it for the spicy scenes
• but lord what happened with Jay that character development came out of nowhere
• could definitely have been 100 pages shorter, super repetitive and so much unnecessary conflict
• i enjoyed the vibes but the relationship felt a little too toxic and restrictive for me rather than 'protective' possessive

So, this terribly abused girl escapes her abusive home in a highly traumatic way, then gets with a guy who is as equally as manipulative, possessive, and provoking as her father, but he's hot so it's fine? Through most of the scenes with them together I was either rolling my eyes or making a vaguely disgusted face

The big secret that is the reason for the ongoing tension with them also wasn't that big of a deal?
