Game Changer (Game Changers, #1)

by Rachel Reid

“I can’t explain it, because it doesn’t make sense how quickly I’ve—” “Fallen?” Scott felt himself blushing. “Yeah.”

Ew! Yucky! Ewwwwwww! After A MONTH of knowing of his existence. This is at best lazy writing, at worst just gross.

Scott couldn’t fucking wait anymore.

I find cussing in third-party narration to be lazy tbh. I know it's not an objective narrator, but still.

“Well…you can remember it next year.” Kip realized as he said it what his words implied. He glanced shyly at Scott, but Scott only reacted with a heartbreakingly happy smile. “I will,” he said.

It was absurd, but it was real.

When you acknowledge the absurdity of it all, I am forced to too and now we all look stupid discussing two people who fell in love in, f*ck it, I'll round up, two months. I know this is ridiculous. Stop telling me because it just hurts to know they too think it's ridiculous.

He just enjoyed the show,

A phrase I personally don't want to read when two people are actively having s*x. Why is this tone so weirdly passive like dude is in a chair or something?

I know it’s probably a ridiculous thing to say or feel right now, but I am in love with you. And I wanted you to know that.”

This is unintentionally pointed at the reader. Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it's absurd. By calling attention to it, my disbelief is suspended 0%

Kip said, and proceeded to tell her the whole romantic story.

More stellar storytelling.

“Do you think it’s weird?” he asked later, after they had stepped outside into the cold night. “What?” “That he told me that he loves me. That I told him that I love him. I know it’s only been a few weeks.” “Are you in love with him?” “Yes.” “Then it’s not weird.”

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY disagree and Elena is a bad friend for not explaining how that cannot be love.

What if Scott thought he was in love because it was the first time he’d let himself be with a man for more than one night?

This is true for you both.

Maybe when Scott got home, things would be different.

You agreed to this! Don't be a baby. Have the conversation if your feelings changed but do not start blaming Scott.

Is he even going to want me by the summer?

You guys said 'I love you' and you both have never said it before to a romantic parter. What is wrong with you?

They had only been dating a few weeks; how much could Kip really ask of him?

Yeah, so stop being a selfish brat. He's rightly worried bout his career.

Mostly he was tired of avoiding everyone because he didn’t want to lie. He had always been a very social guy. He didn’t like this.

Then breeeeakkkk up. Do not bully this man or guilt him into a public relationship.

It was just that their relationship really only existed within the walls of Scott’s home. It was the most important thing in Kip’s life,

That is a huge red flag.

He was being selfish.

Indeed.

he was an ungrateful jerk who expected Scott to jeopardize everything he had worked for his whole life? For him?

“You’re still my little brother. You can’t be happy living here with Mom and Dad, sleeping on friends’ couches, hooking up with random dudes and working that job you hate.” “Jesus, Meg. Anything else?”

Just end it now so he didn’t need to suffer later.

First intelligent thought I swear.

“I can’t mean that much to you. You’re obviously embarrassed to be with me.”

What the hell is wrong with you? He has never done a single thing to deserve this third-degree.
