2.0

this book was fun in general and I really enjoyed it at first but….

the girl mc was so unlikeable towards the end. she said her ex friend didn’t deserve her help to be saved from sa and essentially victim blamed her. 

the girl mc had ocd but the depiction of ocd was so inaccurate. it seems like the author did not do any research about ocd before writing it in their book. trust me, ocd is much more complicated than just cleaning up after your roommate.  

objectifying wlw by the guy mc. made me very uncomfy.

this book also lacked in diversity…

overall, the book had good potential but ya it was the little (big) things that ruined this for me.
