Pros:
- Wes was kinda cute at some points
- The movie quotes at the beginning of each chapter were nice
- Jocelyn and Noah were cute for the 2 sentences they were mentioned together towards the end
Cons:
- An insufferable FL who is extremely insecure, emotionally immature, and internally misogynistic and gets away with everything because she’s the mc
- Garbage writing quality (if i see the phrase “large hand” or “big body” one more time…)
- A stepmother who has no boundaries when talking about kids (wes) and is lowkey a child predator…
- 1 dimensional characters (joss, michael, laney, noah, adam, etc.) that only really exist to further the plot
- Extremely forgettable plot
