FURTHERMORE, (I’ll stop using caps now bc I feel like I’m wearing it out but please do bear in mind that I’m furious) he literally says “if we’re just going to sit here and stare at each other, it’d be nice if she were showing a little cleavage, instead of wearing this long-sleeved shirt that leaves everything to the imagination.

I’m so, so upset for her that she can’t stick up for herself, and Ben disguises his exploitative, disgusting, and toxic obsession with her scars and undressing her as concern and love. For Ben, he begins to fall for a girl who hides behind the cards she’s been dealt, but whose feistiness, verve and beauty, win him over all the same. Homeboy (Ben) eavesdrops on a conversation Fallon has with her father in a restaurant, then when she says she hasn’t had a boyfriend, he SLIPS INTO THE BOOTH NEXT TO HER AND PRETENDS TO BE HER BOYFRIEND? His hands continue to “graze the edge of [her] panties” and he whispers—he fucking whispers to her face—“I’m trying.there were some fantastic and fun bookisms in this story and every single one of them put a smile on my face! I really felt like (regardless of whether I agreed with them), I understood these characters and I absolutely adored their beautiful yet unconventional love story. It's a novel filled with so much passion, humor, with such a dreamy aspect that leaps off the pages and pulls you in.

And he just makes it a joke that he's doing everything step by step just so he can get into her pants? He smiles at me from his position on the bed, and the sight of him sitting there makes my cheeks feel all hot and bothered. This is real life, and in the real world you have to bust your ass for the happy ever after… When you find love, you take it.Their story arcs and morphs into a once-in-a-lifetime romance, but not before plot twists threaten everything they’ve held on to so dearly. And everything that happened in this book, I started seeing it through a very different perspective and let me tell you, there’s nothing romantic about it. When I woke up this morning, I thought today was going to be one of the toughest days I’ve had in two years.

If I didn’t already hate this character so much I would actually tear him to shreds with my bare hands. Kyle and Jordyn’s wedding is a week away, and the latter is in distress; the former seems to be struggling as well, as Fallon witnesses him hit Ben. Honestly, I felt conflicted about what my rating should be for a while because the writing was still very good and the plot kept me intrigued, but Ben was just so horrible (for reasons I will explain later in detail) and I was not happy with the way this ended, so I couldn't in good conscience give it more that one star.

I was especially impressed with the way their relationship was set up so strongly that even after spending an entire year apart with literally no contact, they could pick up like they’d never been separated.
