The reason this book is a gazillion pages long is because she writes crap like

"He handed me the socks and I sat down on the steps to slip them on. 'Thanks,' I whispered, pulling the huge black socks onto my feet. Lo and behold, they were Nike brand socks."

How many details do we need about the freaking socks?? This book DESPERATELY needs an editor.

"I smirked at the fabulous notion" might be one of the worst sentences I've ever read

About 20% in and I fear the Sarah Hogle is not Sarah Hogle-ing?? Blah I hope this picks up for me!!

DNF at 50 % - life's too short and my libby tbr is too long to read books i don't like :(

wanted to enjoy this but unfortunately tilly is just too immature for me. love the neurodiversity rep and oliver is a gem but tilly is written like she's twelve years old and i just cannot wrap my head around her as an adult engaging in romantic interactions.

more to come on my blog!

halfway through and I sympathize more with rachel than bel or her dad because they are such assholes. is that supposed to happen?

I despise Bryce with a burning passion

I never thought it'd be possible that a book has TOO much character development, but whew, this book has proved me wrong. Wavering on DNF...

dnf at 50%. life’s too short for bad books, and this might be the worst ive ever read. goodbye and good riddance!

this book is so bad and "want to play house with me?" is the single cringiest line i've ever read

Blah, it’s just so painfully written. I don’t know, y’all

So far has dual-timeline, shifting tenses AND a possible emotional cheating plot line 🫠

This is good, but it's just...missing something? Some little element that makes it possible to buy into this is just not there. I'm still going to finish it because I've given it 10+ hours of my life at this point, but I don't know if I'll be first in line to read the second book. But who knows - maybe I'll change my mind by the end!

Not-like-other-girls girl, love interest who falls for it and emotional cheating!! Clearly this one is set up to be a real winner for me
