There isn’t a whole lot of substance to the plot. It’s mainly the two main characters finding a whole lot of reasons to scream at each other and have hate sex or makeup sex or breakup sex. The characters are nothing less than toxic, but that’s the intention of the book. I don’t really think the chain of events really has the best flow, and I think if either of these characters existed in reality, they would both be truly insufferable. But when you’re in the mood for a poolside read, this would be something you could pick up and not have the worst time reading.
I say all this as someone who was wildly obsessed with this series as it was coming out. Both in book and movie form. I own copies of every book in this series and use them as poolside or beach reads on occasion. They’re not bad. They’re just not great.

Harden and Tessa were one of my favorite toxic couples during the 2020 pandemic and though I’m glad I read their story, it’s just not impressive to me anymore.planetshelf's review
