I'm having some mixed feelings about this one. Exes-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes and I was yet to find a story like this that I didn't enjoy, but this one managed to make it to the list. I wasn't able to get attached to Addie and Dylan's relationship as I would've liked and, although I looked forward to understanding what had happened, I didn't really care if they would end up together or not. I noticed that I was very bothered by the difference in their social realities and I also didn't like how intertwined with Marcus their relationship was. Despite that, I was entertained by what was going on, especially during the Road Trip part, but I just couldn't care much about the romance
