god i hated this part in the novel with a passion. his damn friends are assholes. i was so mad for lyle

*spoilers*
so hazel was the ex who’s actually secretly a whore and had the nerve to cheat on ash. ash’s friends who attended the housewarming party are all close friends with hazel too but they have no idea about his hoe life so they kept wanting to reconnect the two. anywaaay, lyle and ash gets into a misunderstanding, they give each other space (a single day don’t worry) to cool down. then lyle goes to ash’s office only to find hazel hovering around ash and begging like a clown… so lyle misunderstands, AGAIN, and rightfully so. lyle was about to leave then ash runs after him. he gives hazel an earful about his pathetic hoe behavior in front of lyle and declares that he loves lyle so he should scram.
omg leo is such a cutieee. he was so unlikeable at first but his growth felt natural and it didn’t feel forced at all. like he really had the potential to change and value JJ more, but his head was just so far up his ass lol. and JJ totally deserved this version of leo
