i appreciate finny’s POV but the entire time it felt like it was destroying the perfect boy i thought i love with complete ick
while thinking he needed to be a manly man for any attention, his need to be the best for autumns attention, talking about getting boners just from thinking about autumn and really just over playing this desperate thirst for a girl he’s grown apart from
but loved jack and more of autumn’s thoughts in the aftermath
this author is amazing at writing the pregnancy trope, during the entirety of autumns part only once or twice did something small feel unnatural but was easily brushed off
. the only thing i would want added to this book would be a short part of syls thoughts, i personally wouldn’t recommend this series to everyone but if you enjoy realistic teenage feelings and experiences this is for you.
