Sticks and Stone by Grace McGinty

3.0

What the actual fuck is mightn’t that’s was one of my least favorite things ever. Also I hate the whole “I’m leaving to protect you“ third act breakup bullshit.

I liked the book but I really wish we could have had more depth to the characters. River and dev are fucked up from a childhood that we heard like nothing about. Which is fine but it’s just annoying that it was brought up all the time have they have trauma but they never actually unpack it with the group. Also what really happened with her dad and their friend?!

Huey… seriously that’s the ugliest name ever but moving on.

I felt cheated at the end honestly. They went from talking about getting engaged at their first Christmas to 8 months later… why didn’t we see the first Christmas and engagement or even when she told them she was pregnant? I feel like all that should have been written about not some stupid interview.
