this really could have benefitted more from extra rounds of editing to cut down on all the unnecessary exposition, info dumping, and the grammar and punctuation mistakes. mentioning using chatgpt on chapter 2 was just evil

slow-paced

Another booktok trap, again as a high schooler I would definitely see the appeal, it does belong in that category but as an adult not the same thing. Gave it a shot to see if I’d be able to read this genre book as an adult but I think I’ve passed that age category unfortunately, wish I’d read more of these books when I was younger because now that category is not my vibe

2/5⭐️

give it up for the darling brothers, mia, and paige!! oh and violet too i guess.

cute book, maybe not the figure skating during a hockey match, but i’m looking past that

“But then something shifted in Reed’s stance, and he slowly lifted his eyes to the stands. He found me straightaway. The arena was packed, but it felt like I was the only one he could see.” thoughts: they’re literally so high school coded
