I hate Mal 🤷‍♀️

I really like the writing, the story, the characters, all except Mal. I not only dislike him as a character but I HATE the relationship.  

Actually I'd probably like Mal a lot more if this relationship never happened. This is one of those situations where it would have been better if the FMC was just single. The relationship does nothing but make them both worse.

Genuinely it feels like your first high-school relationship where the girl does everything to try and please her boyfriend only for them both to end up miserable. It just feels juvenile and pointless. 

Other than that, love everything else 🤣
