A lot of the characters dynamics are pretty heavy handed and underdeveloped. Nanmu is too easily attached to her mom that she met 5min ago (I get that it’s made easier by the fact that she was never fully accepted before, but still this could have been better developed)

oh I knew she was slowly poisoning HERSELF to build tolerance. That’s such a fun way to begin the book!

Not sure how I feel about some of the internet lingo. Also some of the prose is very repetitive

The campus wide hands off law is so controlling and misogynistic it’s insane. And the way he explains it like it’s for her sake is insane! Like bro that is not your choice to make. Hannah should have been way angrier about it instead of just accepting it, but that would mean she had an actual backbone

Idk I don’t think anyone should choose a 2month relationship over their life dream, so Hannah saying Garrett would have picked her if she told him about the ultimatum isn’t romantic to me. It’s dumb. Now years down the line yes, your partner should be the priority, but not 2months in💀

How did Garrett manage to become douchier AFTER getting a gf?😭 “I get to have s3x whenever I want without having to work for it”????

Hannah calling MJ a stupid brainwashed bitch…but she can say that right, because she’s not like other girls 🫩

Aaaaand they just got together without him even apologising for how he spoke to her (only said sorry for running out lol). Mind u, the running out was lowkey manipulative as hell because it scared Hannah into taking only five seconds to think about it because she was worried SHE had messed it all up. Yeah I’m so done with that man.

I actually need that man gone🥴 the way he’s speaking to her??? That nasty stuff about getting her hot and ready to bone Justin??? Ewwww. And somehow she’s the one feeling sorry in the end??? When all she needed was some time to figure out where her head was at after he threw her a curve ball by wanting to date her? Yeah fuck him.

Him saying that if Hannah doesn’t immediately know what this is between them and where it could go, they’re just wasting their time??? like bro just give her a minute??? Ugh I get that he’s jealous but this whole chapter is showing me a side of him I really don’t like

Garrett saying “you’re not fcking going, Hannah!” after he finds out about her date with Justin is so…I get that he likes her but that doesn’t mean he gets to tell her what to do. I don’t like when the guy gets lowkey controlling

Ewww Garrett is a hip thruster🫩🥴

Garrett just told Hannah his dad beat his mom and she hit him with a “she could have left him” 💀 Jesus let’s read the room a little???? I know empathy might be a foreign concept to Hannah but come on

Not the biggest fan of how garrett is making so much of Hannah’s r*pe about himself (the way he can’t say it, the way he doesn’t want to think about it, the way it makes him feel about it)

Hannah saying some girls are idiots when garrett says some girls don’t like giving bj…god she’s such a pick me😭 I don’t want to hate on an fmc but Jesus does Hannah make it hard for me

Hannah calling it “man monster” 🥴 way to kill the mood

I don’t like the way Hannah talks about other women. Like calling them “floozy”??? She’s really got the whole not like other girls thing down🥴

and now it comes out that he hasn’t been able to “get off” with anyone else in 4 years😒 mind u they started actually talking like a year ago at best💀 idk something about the way Chelsea Curto writes men is eye roll inducing rather than swoon worthy

He’s THIRTY ONE??? Mind you she is like 18🥴 ughh this book started so promising but has been going downhill ever since

Ughhh she is pissing me off. The way she knows for a fact he’s keeping secrets and lying and doesn’t even try to find it out??? Like why are we talking about sleeping arrangements instead of the secrets rn?? hello??? how about some priorities???

On one hand him and Scarlett kissing would be so much worse if the relationship between Theo and Elysia was actually developed at all, but at the same time I would empathise with elysia a lot more if I actually saw any development between them because right now it’s hard to buy why she’s so upset

If I took a shot every time the phrase “dead before it was born” is used I would perish from alcohol poisoning

Aldric’s voice crack has been described word for word the same on two separate instances🫩

The way the author changes the tense being used every few paragraphs makes it a bit confusing and harder to read

The timeline seems to be a bit messed up because it says in chapter 1 it has been 6 months and 7 days since her parents death. Then we have a 3 week time jump but somehow it’s still 6m7d…

The Pipsqueak nickname is such an ick🥴

He dropped everything to be there while she’s sick and I know I’m meant to be swooning but this is 1) cringe af (and not in a fun way) and 2) I hate when it feels like the mmc only exists for the fmc. Maverick has absolutely 0 sense of self or personality. It’s all just Emmy Emmy Emmy and it’s just boring

The author wrote a smut scene that spans 3 chapters and somehow managed to make it not even a little bit hot💀

“I’ve always considered myself a feminist, but there’s something so s3xy about a man in a backwards hat that has me ready to drop to my knees for the patriarchy” 🥴🥴🥴

This whole book just feels so performative. None of these ppl have any personality other than being #woke mouthpieces🫩 like come on give me something😭😭
