I’m just confused as to why I just read that. Here’s what ruined the whole book for me: 


The time span in which they fell. If they had been seeing each other over all of summer then I think I may have enjoyed this. But the fact that they were together for three days and then all of a sudden act like their life is gonna end when they can’t be together. It was just poorly done. 
Sure there were snippets that I found enjoyable. The final scene with the two of them at the club for poetry was down beautifully. I loved that part. 
Now Will attacking someone out of jealousy? Them falling in love in three days? The pointless outrages displayed by Layken? 


All of those things made the book like a joke in my head. I didn’t want to finish it but I also hate not finishing what I started so I felt like I needed to. Overall I just truly didn’t understand their feelings. It was simply too unrealistic and I think thats what made it so unenjoyable for me.
