Someone said that "in many ways, this book is the definition of Twitter discourse", and that's a very accurate description. It was ridiculous and had sentences like this:
She looks like a person who thinks 15 percent tip is generous.

The romance itself was fine but their reasons to "hate" each other and the whole fake-date situation are both nonsensical.

I didn't like Dylan at all. Actually, I didn't like anyone but Jonah, 'cause no one else felt like a real person.

Both of the POVs are written in exactly the same way and so were indistinguishable.

It felt like Amanda Woody included plot points with alcoholic father and estranged brother just to show that those situations are bad. Just blizzare.
