can we talk about the age differences??? 

14year old girl and an almost 18 guy??? 
He literally calls her a child and still proceeds to encourage her to get off. She even explains that lately they had moments~ of pinning that consisted of her walking around in a towel at 14 years old. 
She literally says she not like other girls~~ other girls her age play with Barbie’s and like one direction…………… like miss girl. You are literally a child. 

and even when she “grows up” she is literally still 17 😐 

The author couldn’t have made her flash back self 16 and him 18? And fast forward until she’s 18/19??? that would have made things soooooo much more comfortable to read. 

The whole plot was miscommunication, and they didn’t speak to eachother, like I understand books like this need spice, but they had absolutely no connection towards eachother. 

And why did the author have a need to give everyone a redemption arc??? 
The mom was a terrible mom, even if she was unhappy in her marriage, she didnt raise her children, she didn’t support her children, she stood by the sidelines but at the end, she cries once and instantly is a great mom. 

And Asher’s dad? he literally was abusive and at the end he is written with the excuse he loved his wife so much that’s the only reason, bc his grief was too much to be a dad that doesn’t beat his child? and just because he says oops sorry I’m dying, forgive me? Asher is like oh yeah that fine I finally found love, I understand why you beat me, neglected me so much???? 

And if her dad PAID to have him sent away why didn’t he just go to the school he got accepted to? Like he was planning on leaving anyways? 
Why send him to another terrible family member? 

Let’s also talk about the name Dashiell. 

Dashiell. 

seriously? 


Overall, I wasted my time. 
The characters had no connection to even root for them as a couple. 

I am never going to read a tiktok recommendation ever again.
