The fact neither of them were pushovers and didn't let each other be walked all over made this a tolerable read. Both of them are fucked up, so it isn't just one person being trampled upon by another person.

The ending is so rushed, honestly. The last few chapters focused on trying to make amends with the parents and the friends, so there wasn't much focus on Skylar's and Cirrus' relationship as a result. They just don't address and talk about how Skylar said he was only dating Cirrus just because he couldn't date Chan-li.

Cirrus was insecure as hell and turns out his insecurity was right. What is to say that if Chanli was attracted to men, Cirrus and Skylar's relationship would ever work out? Skylar decided to date Cirrus on a whim because he felt like if they didn't, his relationship with Cirrus would collapse completely. So he just said to date each other to salvage the remainder of their relationship. He STILL had lingering feelings for Chanli when they were officially DATING each other. Of course Skylar was insecure because he caught on to that.

Their relationship issues needed so much more fleshing out. It felt like the author just decided to sweep it under the rug for the sake of focusing on resolving the other conflicts surrounding the friends and the families, so the relationship issues took a backburner and never came up-front again. The ending left me wanting more and it's a shame that this one is not going to have any side-stories as confirmed by the author in the author's note. I was hoping for this to have side stories that would expand more on their relationship that wasn't expanded on in the main story.
