I liked the wattpad version better tbh.. my favorite part was cut out from the published version :')
also some small comments:
also some small comments:
- the whole church thing was new and idk how to feel abt it
- the whole penguin monogamy people should learn from them bothered me like polygamy exists and is valid ?
- and her explaining to rosie the whole when a guy loves a girl thing felt really straight? LMAO like i am gay as hell so i would have preferred if hadley was like when two ppl love each other,,
- i really read that and i was like man the straights are at it again
- am living for the grumpy x sunshine as always
- ALSO the
hadley's injuries really bothered me for some reason like idk i felt like it was too specific/much? like i was uncomfortable reading it - really liked the whole potluck scene was VERY happy happy 10/10 loved the whole them looking at archer laughing
- I really liked the extended conversation with death as well i felt like it tied everything up very nicely
- I liked how this version was more "he was saved by the power of friendship" bc the wattpad version was more love-centered so i think this version was more about friendship and love was secondary and that was really nice
maybe i'm just biased but i read the wattpad version like four times because i loved it so much back then (like 2017 ish?) so i wanted to reread it now and it was honestly a bit underwhelming ? i'm not sure if it's because my reading preferences and opinions changed or if it's the actual published version.
will have to reread the wattpad version and come back! :')
overall i really hold this book close to my heart but the published version just didn't give what i thought it would give :')
