this one was a bit difficult to get through because the story read like a hot mess. maybe the fact that it started out as a wattpad story could explain why. the push and pull between anne and hunter were understandable at first, but it lasted for so long—repeated—that i felt frustrated. in the end, i justified it as them being teenagers. 

the other thing that i found infuriating was daniel, anne’s brother. he was the absolute worst—hypocritical manwhore who treated girls like disposable underwear. and the nerve of him to forbid hunter from pursuing anything with his sister when he was the misogynistic extraordinaire was insane. 

i would have understood it if hunter was just as awful as him, but as much as he enjoyed the attention of the ladies, he was a decent kid. the way daniel blew off at hunter and anne afterwards, calling his own sister selfish? hello, babe? pot calling the kettle black?

besides that, i thought it was weird how the book lowkey justified emotional cheating (regarding anne and daniel’s father and his mistress)? like that was so random and unnecessary, to be honest.
