I really enjoyed this I liked Loch and Taylor. While the whole situation was a little contrived it was fun.
I found myself so frustrated at Taylor being manipulated that way by Sigmund, I wanted to shout at her, but it's such a difficult situation to be in, I've had a friend who was in an abusive relationship with a guy who did that sort of thing and it really was horrendous for her and took her ages to really recognise what was going on then even when she did she still felt trapped (she's out of that now btw) so I can see how Taylor would feel trapped.
Taylor was really fun, I loved all her references to the different nerdoms. I was really happy that all the little details were right (at least from the ones that I'm part of and after checking with my Thor obsessed friend I can confirm that avengers Thor is the better Thor). Taylor just felt like an authentic Nerd which I really liked.
Loch was really sweet, unbelievably nice and I was falling in love with him myself until he did the shitty thing
They didn't really have much in common but they enjoyed spending time with each other and both of them are in a stage in their lives where they want to change quite a lot about themselves (Taylor wants to spend more time offline, Loch wants to become more normal) so I can believe in their relationship.

WTF Loch a fake marriage- that's the worst, he was so selfish, I'm glad he recognised it at the end but it made it difficult to like him while he was going forward with that planThey didn't really have much in common but they enjoyed spending time with each other and both of them are in a stage in their lives where they want to change quite a lot about themselves (Taylor wants to spend more time offline, Loch wants to become more normal) so I can believe in their relationship.
