Honestly it was really hard for me to push through this book because of the actions of the characters. Always love KR’s writing but damn I’ve never wanted to punch so many characters in the face.

cheating is a big part of this book and the plot. I don’t like cheating and can’t stand it but it is a major thing for the plot

Jared and Banner brooooo
I thought this was such an interesting book because there were so many twists and turns to it that I almost couldn’t keep up😂😂

Spoiler

Jared’s bros calling Banner fat and her cutting him off. Only to become a big shot in New York after being the chosen one in her firm for Zo. Then her being with Zo to Jared coming back in her life and she cheating on Zo multiple times 😭 to her then realizing she didn’t really love Zo in a non-platonic way. To Jared picking her back up and her letting it happen. To her absolute badassness. To Zo falling sick and her helping him to her mom not liking her decision to leave Zo for Jared. To Zo and Jared fighting for her and Zo almost dying but recovering and finding himself a latina mami.

Spoiler

This book was EVERYWHERE LMAOOO
Didn’t even deep it until I started writing this review but wow. It was a really good book that explored a lot of themes. I loved Banner’s strong personality and the fact that even though she was a strong person with a beautiful soul, she also had points in the book where she made wrong decisions that still ended up pushing her the way she was meant to be. 
Everything happens for a reason for real. 
I liked this book.

Almost DNFd because of the blatant fatphobia and perpetuating diet culture. 

Also jared sucks.
