Unfortunately, this wasn't for me. It had its moments but the pacing was off. Like they hated each other and he didn't do relationships but they were in one the other second and then she needed space again so idk what was happening there. Also the whole thing with her sister was so stupid because it had no actual resolution. And the farm storyline just made me feel bad for Charlotte like girl- idk I just felt embarrassed for her whenever smth about the farm came up so yeah-
sidenote(s): Faye leaving her at the cabin didn't sit well with me. Like I get she her responsibilities but she was the one who dragged Charlotte (who was hurt)- I think she should've waited for her
And the soothing slag thing was so silly- like I saw it coming when it was first mentioned but her getting 2 million views overnight was just goofy to me
