I loved the premise of the story and the build up to the mc’s romance was definitely angsty but I will say that it could’ve been written better and dear god did some of these mf characters deserve a HARD punch to the throat. Riley should’ve knocked her mother, sister, ex and ex best friend on their asses for the amount of audacity that clearly takes up 99% of their bodies. I refuse to believe the half assed apologies she got from all of them were supposed to “redeem them” when they all needed to grovel so much more for the emotional turmoil they put her through ESPECIALLY her mother and sister bc they’re family and the way she never went no contact with them after years of constantly being put down is ridiculous.
