??? dude what i was here for mara but i got a brokenhearted stubborn drunk dude and his bff instead. noah was getting more untrustworthy and shit, everyone was basically departing from each other now that mara my baby parted ways from them. though i enjoy goose's character, i never liked the idea that noah was using him and literally everyone else. he needed his anchor and he betrayed her. it's like the whole book is about noah shaw being not-so-glorious with painful, deceiving characters surrounding him. and jamie??? i really couldn't tolerate him without mara. everyone's fucked without her.
