Consider Me by Becka Mack
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
With all due respect, eliminate the “self-insert fanfiction to self-published novel” pipeline.
I tried for ten days (!!!) to read this book and got less than 200 pages in. Both MCs are insufferable, and the only character I actually liked, who I would have been willing to push through for his book, was Adam, and he doesn’t have a book yet.
Everything about this screams fanfic, from the chapter titles to the absolutely insane back-and-forth "will they/won't they" to keep the fic going to the repeated lines between chapters (because it might have been a minute between updates). I know the formula.
But the thing is, you need to edit it. And this is so not edited.
