-this feels a lot like Stephen Kings style

-bitchy flibberjijibbet

-antipsychotics for antisocial personality disorder? Uhhh sure ok

-side bar, personality disorders are moderatly genetic wtf?

-waaay too many people are cool with Josh's stalking as him being "loyal and protective"

-why is Tyler a douche? Because he's not worried about hurting his antisocial roommates feelings? Maybe, just maybe, he knows him better than you sweetie!

-yoked, irl. Ooooh boy, this book isn't going to age well
-I'm way too paranoid to enjoy this stalking good lord!

-I'm not even sure what these two are laughing at. The stuff they're saying isn't funny.
-Lars' chapters at this point are entirely pointless. They boil down to oggling her in wonder, thinking about leaving, then being astounded by her... intelligence? Beauty? Who knows. And more worship. I don't even know what his mission is.

-this destiny thing is so vague, I keep waiting for more information but it's just Lars and Emelee bitching and judging the people on ACTUAL adventures.

-rando drunk guy butt's into a conversation completely out of nowhere to show how protective Lars is (and by product showing his full of shit he is. I thought you would dissolve the world Lars! I thought you were an evil man, Lars! Being bad ass only works if you follow through!)

-wait, he asked her a benign question and she *completely* forgot to follow up about the trial his "friend" went on?

-omg this book should've just been about everything that happened before Lars got there because that's all we're reading about right now anyway. Is there a plot beyond this boring ass town?

- Lars isn't coming across as tough. So scary he makes men wet themselves by lifting an eyebrow? Yeah, OK. This is so goofy and this dude is written so poorly oh no!
-his insta love is weird and I'm not into it. Like what about her? He keeps listing traits we nor he has seen. She's smart? Where? I'm not harping on the lady but we ain't had none of that so far!

-way, WAY too much internal processing and flowery language so far. Like I've been sitting in this tavern with nothing happening for so long now omg. And just the two main characters snarking about how much this town sucks.

Damn we're already in Bingo:

-lame forced proximity
-glorifying self harm
-too dumb to breath

Is the climax of this book an abortion conversation? >.<

I'm calling my critical shot- I love these running themes of women not wanting kids and then *changing their mind* because romance and stuff.

Well that ending was abrupt.

A little too much telling and not showing at the start here which is dragging the plot.

So I have about an hour left but I'm gonna make a prediction:

Boy, I wonder who the mysterious villain is gonna be? Could it possibly be the one person who hung out with Pheonix constantly before she went crazy?! Could it be the one person who hung out with the dean and she got sick?? Could it be the one person making the main character uncomfortable?? Could it be the person who's roommate is still super sick??
