obviously i had to read the sequel, and of course she ended up getting pregnant. goodbye.
overhyped, just like all the other booktok books i’ve read so far. however, i have many things to say about this one.
for starters, this whole book i’m constantly reminded that autumn is wearing a tiara and it gags me every time. i’m only letting it slide because this book did come out during 2013 tumblr and i was definitely wearing my cat ear headband to school EVERYDAY. the difference between me and autumn though is that i was 7/8 while she was in HIGH SCHOOL
this girl never liked jamie idk why she even started dating him in the first place. was it because finny had a girlfriend or was it because she had that weird attention seeking competition with sasha over jamie’s affection. either way i did NOT like that relationship one bit. jamie PISSES me off more than any character in this book, and that is saying something because i basically hate all of them. he was 15 talking about love and marriage and babies AND THEN CHEATS ON AUTUMN WITH HER BEST FRIEND?? byeeeeee
the pace is soooo slow, i think im just so aggravated because i know WAYYYY to much about jamie and i don’t even like him.
what kills me is that autumn is so broken over the fact that jamie cheated on her with their friend but then goes ahead and sleeps with another girls boyfriend. you know how hurt you were and now you inflict the same pain on another girl.
okay i have many things to say about this book. daniella/dani/daisy whatever he name is IS AN IDIOTTTTT!!! it’s literally so obvious levi’s into her, i clocked that from the first page. her going “he rejected me in high school” and the reading the “rejection” was actually soooo baffling. the way people never communicate in books like this is so upsetting, if i were her i would’ve went to his house the next day and straight up would’ve been like “bruh i told you i was in love with you and you didn’t say anything”.
not to mention the whole bella plot line. who even was she and why was miss three names so adamant that he was in love with her. every interaction between levi and bella, and i mean EVERY reaction, you could tell he had NO interest in her. is daniella/dani/daisy THAT oblivious? NOT TO MENTION THE BOOK HE WROTE!!! it was SOOOO obvious it was about her. his mom and his roommate being like “you should def read the book you would find so interesting information (wink wink)” and her being like “oh it’s about his love for bella” REALLY GAVE ME A HEADACHE LIKE GIRL WAKE UPPP!!!
AND ANOTHER THING!!! why are main characters in books always rich and going to one of the top 50 colleges in america? what do you mean she lives in a brownstone in chelsea and her mom is a renowned fashion designer?? when will we get a story about a girl that goes to like suny new paltz and is $20k in debt from student loans? all i know is that if my mom was a famous fashion designer and i went to fashion school BEST believe I would be alluding to her being my mom in EVERY application i submit. i get her wanting to be her own person and have her own success but girl i promise it’s okay to be a nepo baby, most people in the industry are.

i only read this book because i saw the trailer and thought mckenna grace and mason thames looked FINEEEEEE. i normally hate colleen hoover books (i know sue me) but honestly this one is not that bad. premise? a little weird. writing? kind of unbearable. characters? kind of annoying. it’s like a car crash per se, sooooo bad but you just can look away. with all that being said, i did read the whole book in less than 24 hours and i wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be.
