While I really enjoyed the writing and emotion in this, age gaps where one of the MC is a teenager gives me the ick.

As much as I was rooting for the couple, I agree with Tara that it was a bit crazy. Halley went from an abusive household to her best friends home. Reed (best friends dad and “foster moms” ex) was just there. Halley never had a father figure in her life so naturally she’s going to latch onto the first one who is kind.

I liked that we got to see the true beginning middle and end of this relationship. I kept expecting a big time jump but was pleasantly surprised that JH was thorough with their story.
