Havent been this into a book in a hot second 😭💖

One of my biggest pet peeves is when authors introduce a random character who is supposedly very close to the main character, only to kill them off at the beginning of the book purely to manufacture depth. I could accept it if the main character actually showed meaningful grief, instead of thinking about it once or twice and then moving on.

Like wdym your best friend died and you're simply fine??
