- Just because Riley is I've got a lot of beef with this book and I'm not sure where to start. So I'll start with the most obvious and go from there.
- Just because Riley is a songwriter doesn't mean she has to think in 24/7 metaphors and use a million adjectives in a single day.
- All the unnecessary writing fluff made the story difficult to follow. I was regularly pulled out of my reading because the words obscured the story.
- Max. Who are you? Do you have a personality? Spoiler alert: He does not. He plays the piano and runs his family's old folks home. Do you think that's boring? It's because it is. Oh, and I forgot - he wears glasses.

I wanted to read into Levi as some Darcy-esque character who is standoffish and grumpy, but ultimately has Hannah's best interests at heart.

It's great to have pansexual and demisexual representation, especially with a male character, but I physically recoiled when he told Hannah that he would never be attracted to someone else because he's demisexual. What? Being demisexual does not mean you won't be attracted to someone else in the future, or even that you'll be attracted to one person forever.
I just wanted them to each go their own ways and find ways to work on themselves because together? They're just toxic....more
