this was just okay. i did like the anxiety representation - i can always relate to the catastrophizing part of anxiety, and it makes me feel like i am not alone in that thought process. i thought the book overall and the plot was vvvvvery slow-paced, and it felt like sometimes absolutely nothing was happening. i also just didn't feel like the mcs had much chemistry - yes there was mutual pining, but i just didn't see really see it. TW: SELF HARM - i also related to everly's form of self harm she does in the book, as i have unconsciously done it myself to almost ground myself and get out of that anxiety-riddled thought process.

No listen this had a really promising premise?? I love a Bachelor franchise spoof and the promise of a main character with anxiety?? Sounds like a dream. But dude this was so fucking bland!!!
Chris was an utter dweeb, what's her face the MC was utterly uninspired. The best friend was more a stick in the mud than helpful or inspiring, and a lot of the times came off as toxic and lowkey a bully.
It felt like the main character was just getting pushed around all over the place by her friends, by her job, by her parents, by Chris, and she just seemed to take it all as a criticism of her anxiety and that her feelings were irrelevant. And there was no resolution on that front. No one was called out for being utterly shitty to her and it was all a "hey don't let your anxiety get the best of you" as if feelings are completely invalid due to diagnosed anxiety and panic disorders. Eugh.
And to top it all off, no smut? bruh. Miss me with that.
