Bruh. Legit just what I wanna star this with. This is such a unique and good concept but I don’t like the direction it went in (tho love Wade). I honestly didn’t like most of the characters that much but maybe that’s because they’re 17 and I’m old. But I didn’t like how self destructive it was while still ending under a perfect little wrapped up future.
I dunno. Maybe this wasn’t the right book for me right now but it was hard reading about the loss. It made me angry that this kid was hyping up his love for a boy while ignoring the one he was falling for now. I hated how he slept with people out of selfish reasons and how he’s willing to forgive Theo for everything but no one else is allowed to be flawed. I dunno. I hope my first real love isn’t like that.
Good book as I said, I dunno if I’ll ever get a printed copy but oh well. I can’t articulate my feelings enough so I hope this makes sense haha.
Edited a day later: I actually am lowering this a half point bc the more I thought about the ending the angrier I got. The fact that he just dismisses Everything at the end? More the author than the character but fuck him too tbh. I hate how he’s ’been told’ talking to Theo is wrong and that Theo can’t actually hear him. The heck? Yeah I get my boy has unhealthy trauma responses but omg let people talk to those they’ve lost!! I do it daily to mom and even to Anna sometimes! It just means you’re grieving them it doesn’t mean you’re having a psychotic break. Tho that would explain a lot for me.. lmao but still this is why there’s a new half point off.
