I really, really wanted to like this because I loved The Flatshare... but... I did not :( The "romance" just seemed horribly unhealthy. 

Almost all the characters were insufferable and I hated Marcus so, SO much. And then I guess it's all fine and okay that he was a toxic friend and horrible person for years and years because... he had a repressed crush? And I didn't understand Dylan and Addie's relationship either. They fought about money, couldn't communicate about anything, didn't enjoy living together, and broke up because he believed some random guy who tried to assault her and didn't even give her a chance to speak for herself?????? But it's ~true love~ because... they had some good sex for a couple weeks over the summer like five years ago and therefore they get back together??????

Subjective enjoyment rating: 1/10 stars (single star for Deb, the only one I liked)

what a nice book that i will never read again. did everyone try the chicken? i thought the chicken was lovely. (marcus fucking sucks. he just does. i would refuse to forgive him, and i wouldn’t date anyone who couldn’t bear to cut him off … yes, i still have grudges against people who wronged me in middle school, why?)
