Spoilers ahead
I love how it pays homage to Sea of Tranquility, one of my favourite books of all time.
Jake and Mikayla. She finds out her bf is cheating on her with her best friend. He happens to be at the restaurant at the same time and witnesses the fight. Jake invites her along to his prom and then comes home to find out her parents and sister have died in a burglary gone wrong.
My issue is that the story isn’t realistic or believable. Mikayla isn’t as broken as you’d expect from someone who’s lost their family and her relationship with her best friend and boyfriend all in one go.
Jakes family is nice enough to take her in, although at this point she’s literally a stranger.
And then it turns out her bestie actually asked the dude to rob her house to steal the necklace she got from Jake coz she’s a jealous psycho??
There needed to be a bit more description in the writing to build a more fully fleshed out story.
