  • not a fan of the narration style
  • first five chapters are kinda redundant; five character introductions but every character is a cliche and they all want to “get away from this town”? please. 
  • this book lacks subtlety??? like oh a character named Ruby Valentine? gosh i wonder what color her hair is and oh it’s red because of course it is
  • parker being the one who recorded the video was the reveal i didn’t realize was a reveal lmao
  • you’re telling me the obsessive rich ex-boyfriend who has abusive tendencies is the one who was spreading the video of the girl who rejected him? no way dude /s
  • and mind you there are like 7 characters total like who else could it have possibly been
  • idk that whole part was written weird like why are any of the characters so shocked? are they all that naive or just dumb?
  • only thing that really saves this book is ruby and her father but that’s like one chapter all the way at the end
  • sometimes this book felt like it was written by a man idk 
  • there were some parts when it would start to get good but then it just doesn’t v frustrating 
  • rant over thanks for reading xx
