funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

I was willing to overlook the instalove, the questionable writing and misuse of speech tags, the 'I'm so dark and mysterious persona', hell I could have worked with the gay-for-you schtick but my god I lost it when it began to sexualize self harm scars and suicidal ideations. This cannot be the book y'all have been raving about... surely not.

I considered DNFing more than once and was rolling my eyes at the characters often. It did make me laugh too though and I got a bit emotional at the third act breakup so it wasn't all bad.

90% spice/10% plot means that is absolute smut.

It was free on audible 🤷‍♀️ but it was not good. 

It lacked so much depth.

The story itself felt rushed from the second it began. It felt like I was reading from the middle instead than from the beginning; one minute they don’t like each and then BOOM they do. 

And don’t get me started on the fact Whit was engaged for the entirety of the book and SOME HOW Caleb forgave him immediately. The amount of pain I went through because of their break up BOTH times I’ve read it just for them to get back together and it not being worth the  I went through. There was no real grovelling from Whit, yeah, he suffered, for what a chapter, but he never really did much. I feel like Caleb liked Whit way more than Whit liked Caleb.


Also I felt like it had a potential to be something so good, I think that’s why I gave it a 3 stars when I first read it, but reading it again makes me realise everything it lacked. But I can’t say I didn’t find their relationship adorable because I did, their affection was so cute.
