Soft dnf... just not feeling the storyline atm. You mean to tell me you were together with this dude for years and yet when he breaks up with you out of the blue you don't question it? And these absolute amazing best friends you've got... you don't tell them for an entire year??

I love how this book really allows you to focus on the game, with any romantic scenes being closed door. Also just amazing character development.
