I really wanted to like this, I enjoyed the first one and was excited to see where this led, the story itself us interesting enough but good lord, the characters have become INSUFFERABLE.
Poppy is such a pick-me, all of their personalities (Poppy/Cas/Keiran) fell flat, they were all written in the same tone. Keiran was particularly annoying, I wanted to like him but it was the same conversation over and over and it was CRINGE af anytime he interacted with Poppy.
This is a direct quote (no spoilers but I will put in a spoiler tag anyways)
It was. “I’m beginning to realize I’m an incredibly random person.”
This type of interaction of Poppy desperately trying to be qUiRkY and not-like-other-girls™️ was painful. She reminds me of Boxxy.
Also, Malik's name was spelled both with c and a k, interchangeably throughout and I found the way that the dialogue was written made it unclear of who was speaking.
Honestly, not sure if I will continue this series and if I do, I will DNF immediately if literally ANYONE mentions how many questions Poppy asks (is that not how conversation works??) Keiran and Cas are starting to give me the ick, and give off "hewwo pwincess" *tips fedora* type vibes and I was cringing hard in the annotations the entire time.
