we love an ensemble cast 
big fan of the friend group and all the personalities
we love a fake dating trope
B I G parth fan, love that bean 
why did she make being farmer lesbians Cleo and Kimmy’s whole personality. they both felt underdeveloped, which is disappointing because Cleo is iconic
wyn is lowkey a basic white boy, yeah I said it. we get it, you’re a cowboy 
I like Harriet a lot, and loved the storytelling style with the flashbacks. it made it a longer read, but I felt like I savored the memories more 
I would’ve rated it higher if it was a little faster paced, wyn wasn’t so boring, and the characters were a little more enfleshed, but still loved every second of it 
it was a mirror for how we (I) make our feelings smaller because we think it makes us (me) easier to love, when in reality, it’s inauthentic and a barrier to intimacy. im okay, you’re okay, we’re okay 😶‍🌫️
