honestly this book was just so insulting to all bully victims. i remember loving this book so much when i was younger. if i could just smack myself in the head because—what the fuck was i thinking?

maybe it's all the sexy times they were having because there's
nothing of substance about tate and jule's relationship at all.
it's so shallow.

it's really BEYOND pathetic how easy julia let tate into her life. i'm just sitting here wondering if she had any self-respect at all. this boy traumatised her so much but just a simple "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to torture you uwu : ( i also didn't mean to be complicit in running you over with a truck with my asshole bestfriends uwu-it wasn't me" and she was all ready to be his bestie? it's fucking insanity.

to see her gleefully accepting all his honey-ed talks, crying over them, being so grateful over the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM. THE FACT THAT
SHE WANTED HIS VALIDATION SO BADLY. GIRL WHERE IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT BECAUSE I'M
NOT SEEING IT. he didn't have to work for shit. he didn't have to grovel to
make it up to her. he didn't have to do jack shit to earn her trust before she readily accepted him into bed.

julia sweetie, you are so pathetic, it's embarrassing.

anyway bottom line, this book is better off as friends to lovers
because my god, it's full of crap.
