So I read Wallflowers #4, then #1 and now #2. I can't tell if #4 has been my fave so far just because I started there? As a quartet, things get a little formulaic. The love story is always adversaries-to-lovers, which is a totally fine story (although I doubt there will ever be a finer version than Elizabeth Bennet & Mr. Darcy), but the repetition across this set makes me more critical of the idiosyncracies of each version. Lillian & Westcliff are my least favorite of the duos thus far, because their “we dislike each other so much maybe we're secretly crazy about each other” vibe is just a smidge too close to a “tease elementary school crush in ineffective and annoying ways” thing. They are legitimately obnoxious to each other at several points! But who am I to begrudge two fictional characters their happy ending of mutually pleasurable bickering punctuated by equally mutually pleasurable sex.
