neither the best nor the worst of the series, it was okayish. i totally enjoyed reading it and i love conor like a lot! however, as much as i could relate to taylor at some points and was sympathizing with her a lot, it annoyed be that elle kennedy decided that her only personality trait is hating her body. oh and ofc she had to be bullied and body-shamed bc of her weight. also, i think there was so much unnecessary drama and excuse me but NOT the miscommunication trope TWICE in such a short amount of time. didn't do it for me, nope nope nope. to add to that, i feel like con and taylor barely ever talked about anything? idk just felt like there was a total lack of communication there as a whole and everything was very surface-leveled. moreover, the whole plot climax was just so...annoying, unnecessary, didn't do any good to the story?! very much didn't like that. nevertheless, i did enjoy reading the book, i like their relationship, con is the sweetest dude ever and it was a nice and light read. just the fact that elle kennedy can't write a plus-size character very well and the plot climax didn't do it for me ugh.
