how are you going to write a second chance romance and literally never once address why they broke up in the first place?? the only reason I didn't DNF was bc I needed to know and yet I'm still confused
the dialogue was way more concerned with quips and banter than actually communicating anything which tracks since their relationship was very surface level. also everyone keeps referring to Kian as a journalist when he'd ask questions but any time something was actually important he'd have zero follow up...again, never once did he ask "why did you dump me in the first place?"!!
also pop culture references got to be a bit much but that's a personal annoyance
