The Baby Isn't Yours
Sooo, the FL seems...worse? It's one thing not to notice someone has feelings for you when he's always acted like your best friend and never confessed his feelings, but it's another thing to not notice despite him being obvious, and it's hard to see the FL as someone who is cool and strong when she is also a dense idiot. On top of that, she describes Simon as her closest friend but it seems to me like she kind of actually dislikes him. She's under the impression that he's constantly talking down to her, and she says if he were to make a bad expression when hearing about the baby, instead of feeling hurt or unable to forgive him, she would want to hurt him?? Not even like a quick physical retaliation, but making a long-term plan to ruin his life??? Who thinks that about someone they consider to be a friend?? Also, who has a close friend who they trust enough to have their back on the battlefield and like enough to go drinking with, but don't know well enough to realize they wouldn't react poorly to news of their child? What kind of fake relationship is this? This story would make so much more sense if she considered the ML to be a rival rather than a friend or sibling like she claims. FL just seems like a thoughtless, heartless caricature right now.
