the cast was fun n interesting. i think that this idea is very reminiscent of the year that it was published which was peak angst Tumblr because this book transported me the hell back to 2016 with the mention of the "keep calm" poster. I think that the inclusion of Caly being SIXTEEN while Des is like at least 2000 years old is also v reminiscent of what time this was written in. I can appreciate that Des was like "we can't do anything sexual" when Caly was 16 but if we're setting boundaries like that, why are we dating this girl n bringing her all over the world on mini dates??? it's all or nothing, dude, you can't pick n choose.
it also got really dark at the end of the book which I didn't super love because it felt like I was reading a completely different book in the last quarter. I went ahead n looked at the next books in the series n I just know I'll never be in the right headspace to read the rest of it cause the SA/implied r*pe was tooooo much
