why did i read this when i knew from the first book that i hated the writing, you ask ... god listen i just wanted to know how their story ended after investing so much already, sue me. i finished it and i know i have no one to blame for my own frustration except myself.
i'm making this sound like it's unreadable, but it's really just SO annoying and frustrating and cringey, and made me roll my eyes, scoff, and laugh AT the book countless times. but the characters are solid enough to bring entertainment and engagement, which is why i wanted to know how their story ended in the first place. just. at the expense of my sanity i suppose???
my own frustrations with the writing aside, i'm sincerely tempted to dock an entire point because of the biphobia. i felt SLAPPED by it at the end. i legit hoped the author, over the course of two fucking books, would stop wasting my time and allow drew to maybe consider himself bi. i'm ... i ... I EXPECT NOTHING AND AM STILL DISAPPOINTED. the bar is literally so low it's on the ground. jesus. i'm tired.
1 week later - yeahhhh i'm putting the rating down to 2 stars as well because of the biphobia alone. sorry. i hate it. it doesn't get a pass because the characters were good. DO BETTER.
the homophobia from their families in this book really hit me hard though. it was a lot, and actually surprisingly realistic, and drew's parents especially ... i felt that. i also really did feel their friendship and love for each other, so that was well done to me.
anyway at least i satiated my curiosity and got to the ending. why this was dragged out into two books i'll never know. jokes on me because i read them both so idk. we're all losers here i guess.
