emotional funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

i’m so confused rn… i have a lot of questions: why are there so many ppl? why do these characters feel so flat or half assed? wtf is happening? and also why tf is nothing ever happening either?

***sidenote: based on the last couple books the author definitely could’ve portrayed a tortured broody male character without the misogynistic overtones***

Ummm what? Ok, thank god Oli finally bonds with Gabe, the poor boy was being left in the friend zone for way too long. But are we just gonna ignore what happened with Riley and Giovanna?? What about Sage? Also the ending needs to change asap.
