easy read but cringey at times. some of the worst lines included: “land diving” (when referring to gymnastics) and “i can be anything for noodles.” should’ve had a TW for MCAT related content bc 🤢. there was a little bit too much talk about kinks and not enough plot but it got better toward the middle and end.

also why did Olive and Adam make an appearance???? not everything needs to be connected it’s okay to have a separate storyline. also girl wdym the epilogue is a few years later??? bro got his MD and PhD which is at least 8 years, and if he’s an attending doctor that’s even longer esp if he’s doing neuro so like not just a few years.

anyway the book was decent but i had to pretend the characters were not like 21 bc they can’t be younger than me that’s too weird
