Well, I knew I would come across one story that disappointed me. Auden didn’t grovel AT ALL & Carter definitely deserved that even though he was still battling his feelings due to Auden’s 2nd fu in 15+ years. And don’t get me started on how Auden only acknowledges his mom’s toxic advice has been to his detriment. I get that everything can’t always be perfect especially in a contemporary story, however this one while I did love Carter & Auden individually; it rubbed me the wrong way & honestly was WAY too long for a story that basically had its moments written easily. I also especially hated Auden through much of this book bc he kept judging Carter based on actions from high school. 🙄 Carter’s dad actually apologized & Auden didn’t really. Ugh, I’m done picking this apart even though I could say more. Listened via Anyplay.
