I want to DNF this but at the same time I don't. There are some redeeming moments for the FMC but in the end it falls flat all over again by the unnecessary moments that aren't consistent with her persona. Ex. her glaring at shelby when she left the bar with Ethan to appear petty like? Her dad so far is the mature one and has given her good advice but ofc FMC refuses to listen.

What the fuck was that dinner scene? Trying to build some sort of animosity between Ethan's dad and Penny but all of a sudden they were laughing and giggling without any explanation? That just looks like lazy writing to me.

I really want to stop reading after reading through two sex scenes that didn't feel the slightest bit romantic nor did it contribute to the development two of the main characters' lackluster dynamic or lack thereof.

Okay, things are sort of picking up right now. The FMC is still a tad bit annoying but it takes a while to get accustomed to her personality (or lack thereof). There is more context to her return in Magnolia Springs and there is a steady build of who she is as she explores the town that she grew up in and I'm all for it. I hope I won't be disappointed, fingers crossed.

I'm barely into the story and I'm starting to dislike the FMC already. It's one thing for a character to dread coming back home to their hometown, bumping into the people that she grew up with but its another to call an old high school classmate a "bitch" for recognizing her but when the classmate shows no further interest of conversing with her she hates her even more??? Idk but the character is insufferable.
