The things I have a problem with the book is it seems like the author is trying to add characters to just have diverse characters in her book but making them very stereotypical and harmful to people. The main character was a Latina and I feel like the parts of her that were added were after thoughts. I also don’t know why we have to continue to hyper sexualize queer characters. The main character has a friend who is gay, but their only there to sexualize the main love interest.
In short, I used to love the Briar U series but I think I can’t read anymore. The sexual tension (that I love as much as the next guy) is not worth the icky feeling I get from reading these half baked characters.

out of the three books i read from briar u, i liked this the most. it’s the most realistic story.
my heart aches for demi, that girl has been through a lot. let’s just say that she’s exactly what gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss is. hunter, my beloved, he’s also so strong. i felt like throwing up reading his childhood trauma.
i am now more intrigued with reading the last book, but i don’t think i’m mentally prepared enough to say goodbye to these characters. they genuinely felt like family.
