Shay is trash and I will die on this hill
I’ve never wanted to punch a character as much as I wanted to punch Shay - I hated everything about him. I genuinely cannot understand how anyone has conflicted feelings about this guy because what?? He’s a manipulative groomer-asshole with zero redeeming qualities. I passionately hate this. My eyes rolled so far back while reading, I practically saw my own brain. And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, the second “love interest” turns out to be a manipulative groomer too. Seriously? Ugh. 2 stars - only because I like the author’s writing style. I hated everything else.
