coming from the will of the many series, i had such high expectations for this book…and it fell flat 😭 the character voice was great as usual, but the plot was oddly written, and i didn’t feel connected to the story at all. the plot twists were pretty commonly used ones, and it felt super rushed 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was just like mid

thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review!

i couldn’t stand the mc, couldn’t care less about the plot, and the vibes were not hitting for me 😭

what the hell is this: “He winces. His face is the very definition of awk.”

“Gabriel’s expression goes from shock to the IRL version of a laugh-cry emoji.”

“But because it’s me—clumsy Abby—trying to escape, I promptly bump into Gabriel Calabrese. I take a deep breath as I lift my eyes to meet his.” “Clumsy-rella I am, I slip on a rock on the lake bottom and take a little dive into the water.” SPARE ME 🙏

i’m not gonna complain about anything else bro it’s not worth it
