Pretty funny. I don’t know if that’s the writing style or just romance novels in general. I found it sorta corny for the most part, but it really sucked me in and was entertaining, not too dissimilar from watching “trash TV” (though my opinion has been and always will be “if it’s not harmful, let ppl like what they like”) As a fanfiction writer myself, I found Molly to be very relatable in some aspects. While I don’t subscribe to her “tell no one anything” approach, I’ve definitely shared her worries of what people might think of her writing. I feel like Ben’s backstory could have been fleshed out a little more, as well as his friendship with Molly’s older brother. It’s mentioned multiple times, but the only time they really talk, it’s to talk about Molly. The graphic assault scene at the end was really jarring, and I wish it had ended the first time Ben had knocked on the door.
