The writing style took some time to get used to b/c the mc talks with parenthesis and kind of breaks the fourth wall. I also was so stressed about Ethan not believing that Dane hit on Olive and the whole rant Ami had when Olive told her that Dane had been cheating on her that I literally stayed up until 2am to finish the book and get through it. I don’t like that there was no resolution or real conversation between Olive and Ami or Ethan and Olive. I also think it was weird how Ethan and Olives relationship went from hating each other to in love within 5 days . the tension was good but I feel like the characters and the story lacked depth. Also wtf was the whole plotline with the Hamiltons???? Like that one scene when Olive got fired was so weird and then when they ran into each other at the restaurant and the wife was mad at Hamilton? Like why would Molly be mad about anything related to his business and also idk how i feel about Olive getting fired. I also don’t love when there’s so much tension and then they close the door in adult romances but whatever.
Moderate: Toxic relationship
