Anna singing High School Sweethearts:
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love:
You must be a handsome cheater
The one who leads on three girls
I don't care as long as you're St. Clair who stole my heart

i'm so happy i'm done with this abomination of a romance novel!!! REVIEW TO COME when i got to find the time to write my rant lol

[27] “I cheated on her every day. In my mind, I thought of you in ways I shouldn’t have, again and again. She was nothing compared to you. I’ve never felt this way about anybody before—”

oh god, how romantic. it's not everyday you get a girlfriend (plus two side chicks) by cheating. #relationshipgoals
this is my penultimate update for this novel because i'm done with this shit

[24] i'm just thankful i wasn't this immature when i was 17 that i had to flirt with my girlfriend's archenemy just to make her jealous
[25] this book is literally becoming the book of ALL the romantic cliches that i hate
[26] "It’s been a week since we’ve kissed, and we’re dating now by default. Sort of. We’ve taken a few walks, he’s paid for some meals, and we’ve made out in various locations around campus." uhmmmm

[22] "How can I have been so stupid? How could I have ever for a moment believed I wasn’t in love with him?" the fact that she has to ask herself this makes her (stupid)¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰
[23] "I fantasize about their breakup. [...] I want to grab [Ellie's] Parisian-styled hair and yank it so hard it rips from her skull. It turns out I am not a nice person." i mean, ARE WE FUCKING SURPRISED THO?

[19] how feminist of this book to make every single girl a bitch while the men are the heroes in charge to save them. bYE FOLKS
[20] wE LOVE SEEING ANNA GETTING A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE. sHE DESERVES!!!
[21] pls make me understand how a cheater and a three-timer can be the man of your dreams. i'm serious. i wanna understand bc tbh, i'm kinda worried HAHAHA.

[17] this girl literally fantasizes about her ex-fling still going heads over heels for her, asks if she likes a guy who called her pretty, and drools for a guy who already has a girlfriend. MS. PERKINS, AREN'T YOU AWARE OF WHAT WE CALL "DECENT RELATIONSHIPS?"
[18] srsly the only plot Perkins can think of is friends snatching their friends' partners. we love a queen of trashy, problematic YA romance!!!

[15] imagine having the audacity to run around the tombs of Rousseau, Marie Curie, Dumas, and Voltaire. why am i even surprised at their idiocy when all Perkins does is to remind me of it?
[16] the only good thing St. Clair reminds me of is the pair of Dr. Martens i badly wanna buy. he's also 5'4" (in boots) so i was like tHERE IS NO WAY THIS WILL MAKE ME SEE MYSELF IN THIS DUDE and i'm not a cheater btw lol

[12] "Beautiful. He called me beautiful! But wait. I don’t like Dave. Do I like Dave?" mA'AM YOU DON'T FALL FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY CALLED YOU BEAUTIFUL oh god
[13] istg i'd be happier if Josh and St. Clair end up together because only then these things will make sense lol
[14] "Then again . . . it’s St. Clair. Beautiful, perfect, wonderful—" aND A FUCKING CHEATER. yes ma'am that's what he is.

[9] seriously tho, how can you ship a couple that started because of cheating?
[10] me: i love morally grey characters
*Perkins creates Anna and St. Clair*
me: i said morally GREY characters not shitheads whose morals are darker than Vantablack istg
[11] so she goes to the movies everyday to fucking watch American films in mothafucking Paris and then she's gonna complain that she doesn't have enough money. gurl, bye—

[7] "To my amazement, Ellie breaks into an ear-to-ear smile. Oddly enough, it’s this moment I realize that despite her husky voice and Parisian attire, she’s sort of . . . plain. But friendly-looking. That still doesn’t mean I like her." fuck off, Anna. say that when u aren't drooling for someone else's boyfriend.
[8] will this be better if i read it like a sociopath's POV ala Joe Goldberg from You? lol
