2.0

This book is millennial cringe personified (and I say that as a millennial cusp baby). This was a hard listen. I feel like there was 0 chemistry between Jack and Haleigh until maybe 70% of the way through and at that point I was rooting for the other guy. Haley spends most of the book picking people apart (obv some were valid) despite not having her own shit together. Jack came off as moody and unlikeable. I’m all for a friends to lovers plot, but this was was a miss. At least it counts towards my reading goal (and truly the only reason for not DNFing)

But small points for the premise of the plot and representation.
