went for 2.25 stars because i love mary hk choi's writing, but the characters annoyed me so bad. like, actually beyond belief. sometimes i could handle them but at other times i just wanted to dnf this and never pick it up again 😭 might reread sometime to see what i think because some themes are okay ...

it's the same way i feel about a lot of other modern / contemporary poetry. thematically good, i genuinely appreciate what the author chose to explore here. but the style is uninspiring and doesn't make me emotional enough at all </3

my fault for deciding to read a gym romance. never read one of these before and had a feeling i wouldn't like it, but i like to read a range of genres and niches. but no, i didn't like it. the writing style wasn't for me and i hated crystal's personality so much that i wanted to dnf this several times. the body positivity element is the only thing i appreciated.
