I can't take much more of this

I'm so fucking confused why Grace feels entitled to know who Calvin slept with before he even knew her. Girl, you've known him for one week

I think this is also what I am struggling with: we spend so much time being told how much Calvin is obsessed with Grace, but we never feel it. It's classic show vs tell. Just hearing "I'm obsessed with Grace!!" doesnt make me feel obsessed. I don't buy it.

And I am really getting sick of this catty stereotypical mean girl in-fighting behavior. One or two sly remarks is one thing but now, it is every word out of this girl's mouth. People do not talk like this. It's like we're in a poorly written teen drama.

Also is it not weird that an Airbnb host would make his space open for a guest the same weekend he was hosting a big party? On that same note I have Airbnb'd sooooo many times and I would rather eat glass than interact with the property owner- this whole dynamic is so weird to meeee.

I'm usually a fan of alternating chapter POVs, but the way they're handled here feel too abrupt. The chapters are too short (which is neeeeever a complaint of mine). Because the length of time here is so short, our POVs aren't alternating every day or so.....sometimes they're alternating within the same scene. Feels weird.

This strange romantic plot is certainly a setup for something else, but I think it's taking way too long to get through to the next step?
