Combination of my distaste for the 'Bachelor' premise and the RomCom writing.

Excellent novel exploring fame, art, compatibility, desirability as it relates to aging, and so much more.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Suicide attempt and Adult/minor relationship
it explores age gap relationships. all encounters are consensual and the primary one features adults (20 & 39 year olds).
however, there are multiple relationships mentioned and discussed between young adults (18-21) and minor teens (14-16). the situations are presented with nuance but are, for the most, part harmful for the minor.

i found the writing insufferable. i hate third person present tense, generally, however the way these authors wrote their characters thoughts only emphasised my frustration with this pov.
if that wasn’t enough - it was - they way the main female character described (sorry, describes🥴) her writing process makes no sense. as a performer AND writer, it didn’t feel authentic.

i didn’t really get on with the writing but, mostly, i didn’t like how much the lead characters were sexualising each other so fast. like, i know you’re both really hot, but where is the professionalism? are the allosexuals okay?
