I'm actually so sad that I didn't end up loving this.
The first 30% of this were insanely good. I was hooked from page 1, giggled over the banter, and was already their number 1 shipper. I was so invested and loved every second of it.
However, the miscommunication - or should I say not communicating AT ALL - entirely ruined this for me. I couldn't bear reading "I wanted to tell her...but I didn't know how, so I just ended up saying nothing at all" one more time.
They're grown up full blown adults and yet they decided to act like immature 10 year olds who think being toxic is cool and badass. Acknowledging you've hurt someone's feelings and still refusing to apologize is not hot and sexy. It's toxic.
How was the entire book just them not talking? The ending absolutely didn't make up for it and felt sooo rushed. From one second to the other, you guys admit you're in love with each other and just forget about all the drama and miscommunication? Alright. The whole book dragged on forever just for the ending to be rushed.
This is not a slow burn romance. This is two adults ignoring each other until one day they fuck.
