Every time a character speaks in this, it’s a full monologue of emotional vomit or too embarrassing to handle. The MCs literally just met, but MC1—a total stranger to both MC2 and MC2’s bestie, other than a connection to the bestie’s brother—slides into bed to hold MC2, who doesn’t even know a man is in bed with him and is, for some reason, completely oblivious (a migraine doesn’t seem enough of a reason to not realize, but idk) to the fact that it’s this “gigantor” man cuddling him rather than his female best friend. Maya (said bestie) returns to check on MC2 to find said “gigantor” stranger in bed with her bestie and “wiped away a tear.” MC2 is also supposed to be being stalked during this.

Idk, friends. I tried, but I DNFed at 25%; I couldn’t handle another word, even though nothing except the initial discovery of the note collection had happened with “Handsome Stranger” stalker-guy.

I want to say something nice, so I’ll say that the side character POVs, as brief as they were, were very interesting to include; I haven’t seen many authors use them, and it’s something I’d like more of from others.
