// The way this author writes about kids is exactly the reason why some of us really really dislike children in their books!!!

// Now I'm just skimming ...
This is so fucking boring!!!

// “When the need to be physically close became too much—and it frequently did—they met at Finn’s apartment where they ignored meals in favor of making each other gasp and moan in Finn’s big, new bed.”

~ One of the things we just get told!! And the worst thing is we are only at 30% of this book!!

// One of my problems with this book is the fact that it feels like it’s about everybody else BUT the actual main characters!! I just don’t like this author whatsoever!!

// So last chapter they were saying they wanted to take it slow before meeting friends and family and the next chapter in the blink of an eye they are now meeting friends and family … This author speeds through so much of the actual development that we don’t get to see, it makes you kind of want to metaphorically shake the author for being so fucking obnoxious in the way she navigates this book!!

// This author has a really weird and obnoxious way of writing where regardless of the third person progressive, she writes in a way where you are left wondering whose fucking POV is this right now?!?!

// Another problem is the fact that the MCs sound identical to one another and I have to keep reminding myself who is who, which is death to the book!!

// This author is really beginning to fucking irritate me!! We are skipping and skimming through a lot of the very important poignant key moments, like their first kiss for example, when did that happen?! This author tells a lot but she doesn’t show a lot and much of the story gets lost in the translation … and again, that kind of writing is obnoxious and irritating as fuck!!

// Americans irritate me with their obnoxious obsession with what they consider proper language!! How about concentrating on not being hypocritical two-faced entitled assholes a lot of the time?!? That’s way more important than language!! Care about action way more than speech and you’ll get somewhere!!

// Giving a kid so much fucking power over the life of an adult is absurd and ludicrous and so incredibly obnoxious, and I felt everyone in the scenario, kids and adults included!!
