sig is such a walking red flag!!!  also lots of this book doesn’t really line up with the previous book in the series (not to mention Tallullah reading like an entirely different character) and a lot of the plot felt overly convenient and contrived. tbf I do not read romance for the plot. I kept wishing that Abby Jimenez had written the childhood trauma side plot bc I KNOW she would’ve adequately addressed the emotional heft of that better. 

also I just didn’t think this was that scandalous of a relationship? they’re adults and not blood related and didn’t grow up together … has gossip girl just desensitized me?
