you ever read a book and you realize that the characters are better off not being together? yeah.. this is it. the book was utterly boring. the author wrote carlos in a way that made him grate on my nerves in special a genderflip of NLOG. don’t tell his sister that he likes rosé but not because it’s a girly drink but because his sister can’t be right. also he bought his sister a tool kit for her apartment and while putting a bookcase together, THAT SHE DIDNT ASK FOR, was like “hmm her screwdriver sucks… i should get her an electric one for christmas.” DOES SHE EVEN USE IT??? ugh i just couldn’t with carlos… nik seemed immature and didn’t really learn anything by the end of the book about growing and being able to trust your emotions. i mean carlos was immature too he fucking stormed out during a fight. they didn’t seem to grow by the end of the book and i feel like they would be the type of couple that would fight all the time.
