I had a really hard time connecting with this one. From the very beginning, the story between Victoria and Wil felt unbelievable and rushed. While I can understand the fast timeline of a first love (especially for teenagers), the love story here was not convincing for me. Wil’s character seemed more like the author’s vessel/tool for causing trauma to Victoria than being his own independent character with his own story.
It was hard to feel invested from the start.
