Honestly, was expecting something more. I wanted more from Stephen, like… revenge, or him to get caught cheating in the act! But… it was never like that. He always got away. He always got what he wanted. He never had to pay for any consequences. Not even the death of Macy. It was so… uneventful. It honestly just made the story so much more boring 🥱 

Ultimately, She just saw a couple dancing and was like “op… that’s it. I want real love, I love Stephen and it’s real but it’s not real love”. And I was like… bitch wtf u could not have figured that out after years of cheating and him letting u down? It took u… to see someone dancing to a country song… aiggghhttt.  

This book is literally about a depressed college freshman who falls in love with a narcissistic sociopath (who has no regard for anyone’s feelings throughout the whole book) and it takes over the course of like 5 years. Literally so pointless. 

Reminds me of normal people but instead of two depressed ppl it’s one and one sociopath. 

Anyways yeah. I’m binge watching the tv show and sobbing my eyes out byeeee 💋💋
