1.0
this was... awful
we have emily, a complete fcking idiot. we have dillon, the abusive cheating boyfriend. and then we have gavin who is sweet and extremely boring. obvious love triangle situation.
so many issues here.
1. it was so unclear whether or not our author was trying to condemn the abuse that emily suffers or if she thought it was just convenient to have emily have an incredibly shitty boyfriend that she could leave for another man
2. same as 1, but like... lazy lazy lazy writing
3. same as 1 and 2 but also uh abuse isn't something that should be peppered in because you can't think of a better/more convincing/angsty reason why two people aren't necessarily supposed to be end game
major trigger warning for sexual assault at the end of the book.
