ian o'shea proves it's possible to still love your girlfriend, even if she was a worm 🫶 ngl stephenie kinda ate with this one. my only gripe is that stephenie meyer had to stephenie meyer and make a weird age gap at the end for no discernable reason but i can hardly let the last 15 pages dissuade me from rating this book based on how well it had me hooked the entire time. i am but a simple woman; i love a good ~yearning~ and this book was FILLED with it.
