this was pretty alright. i loved XOXO dearly, so mentally i did compare this a lot. this imo was just not as good as XOXO, i love the world of this series but admittedly Sori and Nathaniel were just not characters i was massively into in XOXO.
getting into spoiler territory here,i just didn’t like how jealous Sori was of Hyemi and Nathaniel hanging out. that was weird and ick. jealousy and possessiveness in a romance gross me out. it was kinda a weird love triangle plot that was resolved by Hyemi saying she will love Nathaniel from afar “like a fan”, which. is just kinda icky.
some of the writing was just not for me (mainly things Nathaniel would say that were meant to be romantic but just made me cringe, i swear to you i read some of this in public and made a full 😖 face at some of what he said cause jesus christ)
anyway this was overall pretty sweet and the writing flowed well, just didn’t have the giggling-kicking-my-feet energy like XOXO
