Under the Stars

Disappointing. The FMC was so immature and childish that it was impossible to overlook the author's constant on-the-nose descriptor of “sunshine”. And the MMC was SUCH an asshole! He kept calling the FMC out for being a smart-ass and unprofessional, but his attitude was so much worse until the dance party scene, which reinforces my former point. There's absolutely nothing to like about either MCs and I read up to Chapter 9. I got tired of reading how much the MMC wants to fuck the FMC even though his thoughts and words have been uncharitable at best about her behavior, actions, and personality.

The writing is pretty good and that just made this all the more disappointing because the author's tone and characters are abysmal. The weird-ass immature portrayal of a pot user is so childish, the fact that the FMC reads 300+ books a year, even though she JUST graduated from college, is unbelievable, and the suspension of disbelief of her getting to and from work on a scooter for WEEKS without her family realizing is ridiculous. Ugh, now I'm mad at myself for reading 8 chapters.
