there’s this one tiktok (by @ariisaysso) about people who make their hometown their whole personality (buttersburg, buckeysville, west tickles town, etc.) and that was stuck in my head this whole time.

that being said, if you can put up with the cringe i think this book is well worth it. it’s fun and has a good balance of romance and actual plot. go into this with managed expectations and you will have a good time imo.
