I liked the way they handled Holland standing up for herself and owning her experience and perspective. (During the conflict peak moment at least, maybe not so much how she responded after that...
But cheers to books that model people setting good boundaries and holding people accountable in the moment!
Moderate: Toxic friendship

Not really a fan of this
It’s kinda just there. I dislike when Christina Lauren relies on crude sense of humour because it never lands for me, and this book kinda relies on it.
I did like when Calvin said “I’ve had friends like that. the ones you outgrow but keep anyway.”

I think this fell flat for me in a few places. I didn't like that the only female friendship Holland had in the book was incredibly toxic and she really didn't have a friend to turn to. I would have loved to have seen her have a strong friendship outside of her relationship with Calvin and her uncles. I thought that Calvin and Holland's relationship was very juvenile, there was way too much miscommunication, assumptions, and lies. All of their issues could have been resolved with a simple conversation.
