Blake, I need you to stop being so damn trusting of everyone. Raise your hand if you think that Cleo is a lying liar 🙋‍♀️

Besides the world's worst plot twist, at the end of this, it was fine. You can definitely tell that it's Huang's debut novel as it isn't written to the perfection that we'd expect nowadays from her. Honestly, for much of the time, it read like a first draft. There were time jumps, scenes that flowed terribly, and chemistry that was great one second and nonexistent in the next. 

Also, what was Farrah's obsession with her virtue. If I had to listen to her talk about how difficult it is nowadays "to give it away," I was going to disconnect my headphones from the damn audiobook and never return. And Blake's family was nonsensical to an unbelievable extent. His parents were so angry that he gave up football for his health???? Like, HELLOO?!?! And Cleo is apparently his soulmate because they grew up as besties and dated for a year. Be so fucking forreal. 

Blake and Farrah had potential, unfortunately the beginning of their story wasn't done to it's full potential.
