I truly wish I had the ability to DNF this book but it seems as one of those stories that are bad to the point that you’re entertained how bad it is. It really is a fanfic about Taylor and Travis, which full transparency I am not a fan of Taylor. I am almost convinced Taylor Swift ghost wrote this book herself. There was no depth to the character and you really didn’t get to know them as a reader; it didn’t even feel like the characters knew each other either. Lacy and Jimmy lacked chemistry and even their physical intimacy sounded mediocre at best. Lacy was self absorbed, entitled, and lacked awareness. Jimmy did not seem into her at all. Both lacked emotional regulation and intelligence. I could see what the author was trying to do with the ending but it didn’t land well; an epilogue would’ve worked better in my opinion. Overall, not for me. Maybe a huge fan of TS would appreciate it more but even then, perhaps online fanfics may better suite their needs.
