I was really enjoying this, especially the way the author picked to write Leon's POV! And then came

Justin's proposal

, and Leon's reaction felt inappropriate, out of character, and in general, angered me. i read the rest of the book in a haze trying to piece together why that reaction was justified, especially once you realize that Tiffy and Leon don't know each other particularly well but still have this ~romantic pull~. I was going to look past it, but again, the

proposal

took me out and upset me enough to bump it down - not unreadable, but an unpleasant twist.
