The first half of this was so slow I almost thought about not finishing it but I tried again at another time and it did start to get good at 50%, but some things bothered me and gave me the ick. To clarify I'm NOT trying to yuck anyone's yum and I'm usually ok with the age gap trope but the fact Jordan is only 19 felt super unnecessary. And Pike trying to act like her dad all the time? I don't know about this one.
