This is a shame because the first 2 parts were SO strong. But then it hard nose dived. The pacing just became unbelievable and the plot points felt jarring to say the least… Not in a ‘nice plot twist’ way but in a ‘predictable but also mischaracterization’ sort of way. Any promises made to the reader felt a little rushed… Also. LITTLE FLOWER? I’d throw up if my brother called me that… not to expose myself as a LaDs player BUT it gave me the same ick as “pipsqueak” iykyk.

other things that bothered me spoiler edition:

why’d they get married…? Bro I can’t with that. Not when they’re 18 and 19 and barely know each other. It just made their relationship feel rushed? idk. Also Forest’s reappearance felt RUSHED to high hell and how Iris responded felt like going back on any character growth? Not to mention he was INSANE and soooo out of character from what we’d been told to expect. It just didn’t work for me, but I can see what Ross was trying to do…

Idk… I probably won’t continue this one. It was so strong but the ending… I couldn’t care less and it was just so unbelievable.
