I finished at 20% in. I had to DNF. I just cannot handle the narcisism and toxicity these two have after ‘falling in love’ with each after 30 seconds of knowing each other.

Bro. That’s not love. That’s lust. And hey, I love me some lust BUT don’t try to parade around and call it ‘love’.  I’m smart enough to know better and old enough to eyeroll when someone thinks they’re going to be successful in tricking me to not see what’s happening.

So I could not get on board with our characters and when Gabe continues to act like he’s the center of every universe that ever existed and repeatedly puts Lucy on a planet in another solar system completely disregarding her feelings was the final straw.

No thank you. Also, Gabe can F ALL THE WAY OFF. By himself his imperfect and broken narcissistic self. Good luck with that, buddy. 😡 😡😡

I really liked the author’s writing style and the stylistic choices of this book.

I found the characters thoughts and actions pretty realistic, while the situations were, maybe, not as much. 

All the same, this was a nice quick read.
