I was annoyed by these characters from page one.
Colleen is a mean girl who peaked in highschool. She’s 31 and still holding a candle for a man who she dated for four year and never said he loved her, and kept a huge secret from her. Now he’s back in town to see his uncle through end of life care and apparently all he has to do is call Colleen “Mia” and she’s ready to lock him down. There is so much super cringey dialogue in this book. From the body shaming to trying to get her “friend” Paulie to pretend to be helpless and more feminine to win over a guy. The way Lucas speaks to Colleen throughout is so gross. And Colleen at the age of 31 is not even able to communicate how she feels. The entire book is a constant miscommunication between the two of them with a ton of unnecessary highschool drama between 31+ year olds.
