I’m wrinkling my nose at the end of each chapter. That’s not a good sign.

The woman narrator sounds very close to the AI that is in like every video on social media.

I am trying an audio book.

I accidentally clicked on this while searching through my books for something specific…so I guess now I’m reading it. I am trying to not be irritated already, so this bodes sooooo well 🫠

Ok, so as a high school romance…I dunno if I’ll keep going tbh. I’d like to say “we’ll see,” but the truth of the matter is this: I’m not loving the heroine at present. The fake boyfriend is just now seeing the heroine for the first time. So are other dudes. And tbh I hate it.

So far this book is just…vapid. Like…these are high school kids. So they’re basically angsty little monsters. But nobody ever seems to articulate high schoolers beyond the surface. Aly (the heroine) is not multi-faceted. She thinks of volleyball to calm down. She also thinks that being labeled a commitment by her peer group is the worst. It’s very “god, you’re ruing my life!!!”

My face rn: :|

Ok. I’m kind of wrestling with DNF’ing this tbh. I think the hero is pretty gross and the heroine is like a teenager. I can’t.

Mmmmmmm, I dunno about this one y’all

Ok, let’s see what happens…

At present, this book is not striking me as one I’m going to love thoroughly.

The dudes all seem brash and alpha and it’s kinda making me curl my lip at them lol

Intriguing. I do love a down on her luck heroine who is running away from her shitty past.
