1.0
I fell victim to the Tik Tok hype train once again. This book has been one of the worst books I have read in a long time. I didn't have high expectations, but this was just... I wanted to read something to get my mind off stress and life, and it did the total opposite.
Things I liked:
- the fast pace i guess?
Things I hated:
- both characters were bland, with no dimension, dumb, and really irritating
-Sophie had no backbone, fell over soo much and was sooo clumsy that I wanted to push her down a flight of stairs myself. The quirky mmc is not my type of beat but this was sooo over the top that it was unreadable.
-"curvy mmc" was just a marketing thing. No character or depth there
-The main guy, whose name I can't even remember cuz he was so boring, was so cocky for no reason, insulted the girl with so many backhanded compliments it was crazy
- Super insta-love
- The guy apparently bullied the girl when they were kids cuz he liked her, but it was just thrown in the text, we got no real backstory or nothing. Same applies to both characters missing parents.
-The third act breakup was just done poorly and the guy didn't grovel at all
- Why did we need to know what every single person was wearing was beyond me
Overall, I wish I could forget this book
