i didn’t like this book. it had some good moments and thats why i'm giving it 2 stars but i think im still being too nice. there were ableist comments like “you’re so bipolar” which is disgusting. also I didn’t like jordan and his way of thinking. he was SO selfish and only thought about himself when he learned his bf was r*ped!!?? he said smth about not knowing if it’s better that they’re in this universe where max got raped and they’ve met or if they were in another universe where he didn’t get raped and they hadn’t met. like obviously i’d be rather if my partner wasn’t raped and we would have never met. that’s such a selfish way of thinking. i truly hated him.
