it was one of my first bl reads ever so i might be a little biased i honestly liked the story, as we go into the back story of the main couple i feel like the story becomes a lot more complex and interesting, they’re childhood best friends so finding out the motives and stuff of the ml was super interesting I PERSONALLY ENJOYED IT, if you aren’t a fan of toxic evilness SKIPPP the side couples
the main couple is also kinda toxic but in a dependent type of way

stranger than friends has the progression of all the flags
main couple: yellow flag (top)
side couple 1: red flag (top)
side couple 2: BLACK FLAG (top)
