AITA For trying to make my crush jealous and killing a guy by accident because I made his d!ck explode?

That's it. That's the premise of this book. I loved that we have a whole queer friend group trying to deal with their mess. But the book... at first I was like "meh the writing feels off". Then "okay... this is interesting..." and finally "wait. That's it? The book is over? Just like that?"

So yeah. The story is enjoyabl , but Kind of underwhelming. Especially the ending. It feels like something is missing

Je pensais que c'était un GL avec la couverture. La couverture est super belle. Bon c'est pas un GL, mais c'est vraiment bien. Un magnifique livre, une histoire dure mais belle.

At first, I was... more than perplexed. But I started enjoying the book. Is it perfect? Not really. The pacing was off sometimes and the author lost me. But the characters are good and we get attached to them. I just wish we saw more of Alilyah and Zion. Especially the first one. Kind of hard to understand her

Not a bad book tbh but its pacing was off sometimes, like some
Parts were unnecessary. One last thing, the MC was 😬 most of the time. Like go get therapy girl
