I am reading this because I decided to read the books off of my Goodreads list from when I first joined this app and the book influencing community as a whole.
I had a lot of frustrations with this book.
1. The FMC has some fatphobic thoughts about people's bodies and that irrigated me.
2. The MMC obliviousness of gentrification, racism drove me up a wall.
3. The MMC is the epitome of a wall street bro and I did not like that personality at all and when we did get some redeeming qualities it was too late I didn't care.
4. The FMC hides something from her own sister that she should have told her and I hated that.
5. The pacing is not good and the book is like 100 pages too long.
I liked the banter with these two in the beginning. I liked the awkwardness of them seeing each other after the hook up but that chemistry was off the rest of the book. I wanted to like this book so much more than I did.
