1.0

minus one star for writing “babe” 160 goddamn times into this book. minus another star for man with severe anger management issues and NO PLANS FOR THERAPY

i fear for that kid on the way truly

. minus another star for the “slutty women” trope and calling a random lady a hussy bc she wore a mini skirt. and minus one last star for not respecting the basic rules of consent. thank you and good night 

also why was he totally fine with smoking around her (despite supposedly knowing secondhand smoke kills) before he knew about her cancer and then after finding out all of a sudden he’s a no smoking boy scout?????  like bro? when he didn't know she had cancer, he wasn’t willing to quit and asked her if she was gonna make a big deal about it, but after finding out about the cancer all of a sudden that secondhand smoke is bad and not good to be around????????? AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SWOON WHEN HE SAYS THIS??????????????? be so fucking for real right now.

4.75

4.75 stars!!! I loved this so much omg. This book had me in a hold from the minute I started reading it. Dex and Iris's relationship was everything and more. I loved them so much together. I love Dex so much omg he was everything. I loved the relationship Iris developed with everyone. I kinda wish we saw Sonny with someone because he seemed really nice. I loved all of the side characters and how they never treated Iris different. The only reason why this isn't five stars is because Iris got on my nerves sometimes. Half the time I was like- girl get over it. But overall I loved this so much. It was great.  Ritz and Charlie <3 are my new faves.
