usually i hate age gaps and “raising” tropes but this one is tolerable because the ml was also technically a kid. they were both angsty teens going thru traumatic shit so it’s not as bad as other stories. i really appreciate the character writing. i like how there’s no “good” or “bad” person, they’re both flawed characters. the author did a great job at fleshing out their characters and showing us their thought processes and opinions. it feels like i’m reading about a real relationship between real people instead of your regular fiction. this is honestly a really good story. it’s aggravating at times due to the miscommunication but the author writes out miscommunication very well. i usually fucking hate it when bitches can’t communicate but i like how the characters confront each other when frustrated instead of dragging the shit on and on again without progressing at all. the au was a nice break from all of the angst.
