Im currently in the middle of reading this and... yikes. The amount of coercion this ML is pulling with the FL to get sex is horrible. Ill check back and revise when I read more.

EDIT 1: And now we have catty female stereotype of 'you mean nothing to him and I do. Remember that'. Great.

EDIT 2: And now we have casual fat shaming about the 'freshman 15', lovely

EDIT 3: This coercion thing he has going on is getting old...

EDIT 4: Oh god... shes gunna try to change the fuck boi

EDIT 5: everyone's jealous and its so stupid. He doesnt want to put a name to anything but heaven forbid another dude want her and shes trying to change him and im like dear lord. Is this juvenile bullshit the reason I never read these books anymore? Like have I grown too old to find it fun and exciting when they are all dramatic for literally no reason?

EDIT 6: Oh lovely, internalized misogyny of women not knowing what they want and being all 'mysterious' and 'complicated'.

EDIT 7: Oh! We have some lowkey homophobia going on! Great.

EDIT 8: Oh hes TOXIC toxic. Got it

EDIT 9: annnnd theres a baby and so much slut shaming. Love it

EDIT 10: Whelp I finished it and wow.... just wow. That ending did not make up for anything. At all.

Perhaps its my age showing but the entire book was super juvenile and it was hard to read. There were some editing errors but it was just so contrived, all of it.

Do no recommend.
