2.5

dark medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I felt like a lot of the tropes were unnecessary. Age gap, fine. I didn’t think it was necessary that she was 17 for half of it and I didn’t think it was necessary that they were “family”. I know they weren’t related by blood, but for me I wanted her to talk about that more so I could have been more invested in the relationships.

I didn’t want her to end up with any of them because I didn’t feel a connection with any of them. Especially not Kaleb. The fact that he’s who she fell in love with seemed like it came out of left field. I felt no spark or connection between them whatsoever so it was a let down. The only relationship I semi liked was her and Noah but even that fell short.
