the chatgpt mention in the beginning was almost forgotten by the end of this book but my brains capabilities for hate are limitless. i did not forget. seriously i can handle the cringe asf tiktok mentions but i absolutely draw the line at CHATGPT MENTIONS???!! what has this world devolved into…

other than that this was a pretty standard fake dating ya book. i love me a good fake dating plot, especially one where the fmc is getting back at her ex. beautiful to me. so i liked that aspect of it definitely. i also really liked the mmc, reed. he was very sweet and misunderstood. sometimes he was a little cringe for the “im big and scary grrr” act but what can you do about it.

violet on the other hand, was a mostly decent fmc except for that stupid ass third conflict… the whole book i really admired her for not falling into jeremy’s manipulative bs and then boom. we need some drama so she loses all reason and believes notorious liar and freak jeremy. just stupid. made me wanna tear my hair out.

also i will say that this was VERY fast burn. also extremely insta-lovey on reed’s end. i do love a good pining down bad man, but like come on what do you know abt this girl other than that she kicks cars

It was giving the same feeling as Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter and I was totally here for it. There was nothing about this I did not LOVE
