why is the fmc's nickname meatball man i'm crying
ok so this one is mostly my fault! i read all rhodes lead here a few years back and didn't enjoy it, but picked this one up anyways bc my coworker swears mariana zapata is the slowburn queen. so i said what the hell sure maybe the rhodes thing was a one off.
it was not. this was a book with wattpad level writing and character work that made these mid-20s to 30-year-olds consistently feel 17. it also spends half it's page time reiterating how much the characters are blinking (this is barely an exaggeration the word blink is in here 191 times)
and i know i already mentioned this but mariana zapata has to be the WORST nickname writer i have ever seen. in rhodes the mmc calls the fmc buddy the elf, and in this one he calls her meatball??? like she is generationally bad
