I read this at the library a few years back and decided to reread it and damn at the beginning I was like “well if y’all communicated that would be fine” but omfg I think I erased the rape scene from my mind to just remember the ending because aWtf. Like yes the struggles are real and shit BUT OMG YOU DONT GET OVER THAT??? And people being like “y’all complain too much” YALL DONT COMPLAIN ENOUGH. My first read was “just get TGT already and talk” my second read us “stay away from each other”

I’m gonna be honest, most of the time jealousy, slut shaming (kinda) and miscommunication are absolutely ass aspects of a story that make drop it. But RN I don’t even want them to get tgt for now because I enjoy the petty and fuck it attitude. Does the MC knows there’s a misunderstanding? Yes. Is he gonna fix it? Nah cause he’s a petty bitch and I get it

Omg that’s what it is you just made me realize why I actually enjoy this so much and it’s bc he’s aware there’s a misunderstanding and playing into it even before when he didn’t know what the misunderstanding was he knew they weren’t on the same page about something but usually miscommunication tropes suck bc both parties are dense but this dynamic is sooo interesting
