First of all y’all ever write a whole review and then accidentally delete it? because same. I have  a lot of feelings about this book. My main concern being that 2 of the four “spicy” scene take place when the fmc and mmc are between the ages of 17-18. Can we please stop including this in novels like this?? Colleen hoover does it in It Ends With Us and while i am no where near comparing the two authors or books, it is weird and rather unsettling. Second of all i loved loved loved the twist of the betrayal however i wish it was ever so slightly less predictable. We open with the call from charlie and her inner monologue about revisiting the incident. As they keep coming what i am sure a intended to be easy going flirting with  your best friend’s whose only a couple of years older (when your beat friend is so obviously into, that it assumably is meant to be a way for Charlie to pick on Sam) it quickly becomes very predatory and unsettling, especially when Charlie and Sam make up and you want to keep Charlie in a good light. Also it is 100% miscommunication at its finest and Low key sucks.
