  • A somewhat reasonable miscommunication trope.
  • A semi-relatable socially awkward FMC. There are some parts where I find her intolerable and privileged. Other times like with her mom I find her down-to-earth.
  • I actually enjoyed the sports scenes which was surprising!
  • HOH rep- I like that they spoke about the tinnitus in hard of hearing people. I myself am a HOH person who hates using hearing aids because they make headaches worse and even if I can hear sounds deciphering what’s being said is difficult. I love that they spoke on this! 
  • HOH rep- I hate that the MMC family spent so much time trying to force him to use hearing aids. He shouldn’t have to if he is uncomfortable with wearing them. 
  • I was bored mostly until it got to the part with the mom. She was my favorite character. I teared up so hard at the 75% mark
  • The smut was pretty good. I respect that the “I love you” came after they actually experienced things together. 
  • The end was cute.
