Quality over quantity Making money is lovely but producing good literature is better.I have read fanfics withquality than this one, because as much as Carrie likes to deny it, this is a fanfic of her relationship with Oliver.Well that was underwhealming.I heard all the rave about it, so I gave it a try Man, was I disappointed The plot is mediocre at best It is built upon a LOT and I mean a LOOOOOOOT of tropes It is very insta lovey, one dimentional characters, cookie cutter stereotypes and all that jazz.The writing is also underwhelming Things are told, not shown, which is a bummer It

current boyfriends Its hard to imagine them as different characters and not just Carrie and boyfriend in book form.However i did like this book and her writing as gotten better Its still not perfect as she writes these wherever she can, so you cant expect it to be super professionally written For a future book id like to see her focus on something else rather than romance Perhaps a love between friends or family 3.5 5I do wish Carrie would stop...2.5 starshttps lanternsandhardbacks.wordpresThis is going to be an interesting one Never in my life have I had such mixed feelings about anything
