Why hasn't The Bachelor done a queer series? I mean, obviously I know why. I maintain my point.
I feel like this story was overall unmemorable. Granted, I kept comparing it to One to Watch, which I love with all my heart and soul and devoured in one sitting, and those are some big shoes to fill. The writing was meh - most of the quotes that I marked were funny instead of hit-you-in-the-gut - which is in vein with the other Cochrun books I've read. I feel like Charlie has some other issues aside from the OCD and anxiety that were alluded to but brushed off. Dev was annoying, as much as I loved his active portrayal of a depressive episode.
