This was such a quick read (it’s been a while since I’ve read a book in a day). Am I way too old for this? Yes, yes I am… but I wanted to read this before watching the show. It’s cute enough, but there was little to no plot and I’m not sure what the draw for the MMC is.

Oh also, there were a few scenes that didn’t age well (inappropriate use of the word “gay” and slut shaming) that I wish they would edit out since they’re reprinting the book with a new cover.

Does not have homophobic themes in the plot, but rather uses the term “gay” very carelessly
