02.5, if I’m being generous.
The heroine was the most self centered lead that I have read in a minute. She just took and took and took from those around her, especially from Matt, and then acted shocked when damage was done! Which, I suppose is realistic for the Poor Little Rich Girl™️, but I so desperately wanted better for Matt. Matt, by the way, flies right by cinnamon roll straight to door mat which I wouldn’t find realistic if I did not personally know so many of my male POC friends who’d degrade themselves to literal gutters for a mediocre white girl.
And, tbh, any time a book gets a Taylor Swift ref, it instantly gets downgraded anywhere between a half to a full star.
That being said, the bit when they have a little runaway bride moment was genuinely good.
