There are definitely some ignorant parts here (think: Breakfast Club/Cthagod vibes), but, for the most part, I enjoyed the story though it is stressful high school drama. Things get rather messy too!

Olivia's all in her head about her feelings, sex, and 3 potential love interests. Is this an otome game/love sim? I thought her different dynamics with the guys were cute, and I liked her relationship with her cousin. Her narrative is relatable with Olivia constantly overthinking things and trying to apologize. I was thoroughly annoyed with Eli. No one needs to baby him!

He can feel frustrated that Liv never knew his feelings and slept with Dre, but this all ultimately hangs on him. He needs to beat himself up about being too afraid to tell her. Everyone can't pick up on hints. Yes, Liv could have told him her feelings, but that doesn’t erase him acting a total fool in public. This really felt like a shoujo where the male love interest is already rigged. I thought she was going to stay with Dre. Eventually, everything boils down to self-love which is nice.
