yeah the tone had me expecting one thing and then im faced with. That. and frankly im not ready to deal with all that. maybe thats why i feel so blindsided and irritated, beyond the obvious. i just wanted some cute confident girl x shy/stoic boy and their dynamic, not coming of age and working through terrible narratives or whatever.
I FINALLY FINISHED IT. I WENT THROUGH SUCH A TREACHEROUS JOURNEY. OH MY GOD. this is rough. i think it’s because i starting reading it thinking it would be a comedy, but it very much was not. there’s a lot of emotions. this is like watching a tv show thinking you’re gonna be watching family guy but it’s actually bojack horseman. you have to be in the right mood for this.
it starts out fine, much like their relationship, but red flags that both the reader and characters see are addressed as the story progresses, much like an actual relationship. it’s not a clever story, like at all, but it gets its message across! pretty decent, i’d say a 6/10 purely because it was unexpected, but if i reread it it’ll maybe go up to a 7 or 8.
