i very quickly realized that the romance is NOOTTTTT the main plot point here and adjusted my expectations, which helped as i kept reading. to me, this is more about friendship and how our lives change in so many ways but stay the same in others — not romance. which is fine! just don’t market it as a romance book and put a romance cover on it!! the cover slays but still!! honestly this was an awesome movie but not the best book. that makes sense in my head idk. also natalie definitely was in love with gabby and needed to work that out??? like girl get a therapist and a private journal instead of publishing your most insane and unfounded thoughts about her fiancé DAAAAMN
