OH MY GOD
i actually really like liz as a main character. even though she made me mad sometimes since she couldn't just talk to her best friend like she should've but then again, we wouldn't have gotten all of those liz and wes moments.
wes is quite literally the only man to exist ever and i cannot believe liz ever wanted michael, he is so bland omigod.
honestly, i wish i could say more about the writing or the actual plot but i can only think of wes right now T-T


Edit after reread about a year later:
THIS STILL HITS SO HARD, WES IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE😭😭 and Michael is STILL bland as hell omigod. I think this time around, liz being dense as fuck about Wes liking her was a little more annoying because it's just so obvious how in love with her he is ughhh. And I still teared up at the same parts as my first read so that's great. Rereading the parts that Lynn released from Wes' pov was just *chefs kiss* God I love him so so much😭 this is all I'm gonna be thinking about for the next month
