The repetition of “but she didn’t say that” after dialogue became annoying after the 20th time. This book is built on miscommunication so if that bothers you skip it. The main characters have little chemistry and spend most of their time fighting but not in a way that seems resolvable. It is resolved but given they are fighting about their outlooks on life it doesn’t seem like it should nearly as easy as it is. This book also veers into some really heavy topics somewhat suddenly.
Graphic: Racism, Medical content, Death of parent, and Pregnancy
Moderate: Ableism, Miscarriage, Sexual assault, and Police brutality
Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Vomit
