"But, like, do I feel gross sometimes? Do I feel dirty on occasion? Yeah, and I guess that’ll never really go away. Those are just the side effects of being force-fed poison your while life.”

😮‍💨 ok.

why tf is this mc calling random girls bitches and sluts...

There will MOST DEFINITELY be a rant review on this, but I'm still not sure if I want to finish it first

Dnf @ 100 pages. I’m sorry I wanted to like this and I understand how important a story like this is but the inner monologues just took too much away from the meaning.

Also there seems a possibility in a potential discussion about women writing m/m books and the good and bad from that and I just want to say that I know of some who started off writing m/m romance but ended up learning they are queer themselves so there’s that too and Cole is coming across as if lesbians and queer women don’t exist but I am early in the story so we’ll see if he’ll grow in any way

Cole’s inner monologues take up most of the chapters than the actual action or dialogue. Plus I already can tell that Nicky isn’t going to be very good for Cole. Also, for being a self proclaimed bookworm Cole doesn’t think that there are actually good ya and teen books out there featuring m/m love. That idea that they just don’t exist comes across as a bit ignorant. But I’m going to try and continue this

Didn’t care for the blatant sexism from the main character Cole but I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again
