(HAS SPOILERS) (Before I start this review, I would like to say that everyone has different opinions. This is just how I saw things and thought about them. Feel free to reply to my comment with your opinions. But I want a reason behind it, so I can see it from a different pov :) ) Okay. Good story. Bad ending to me. And my reasoning for me. Okay, let's go over the people real quick. Henry, Sam, and Seth
Henry - I tbh didn't feel anything for him. Like nothing bad, nothing good. I didn't like a lot of the choices he made. But Henry as a person. There's just nothing to say. Sam - I never really liked him. He gave me bad vibes, and tbh just reminded me of my toxic ex. And when characters do that you know I'm going to comment about their behavior and how they act. Seth - He gives me "baby vibes". He was always there for Henry and I couldn't help but love him. I weirdly loved him tho. Everything he did was understandable, mature, and logical. It made him the only reliable character in this entire story.
Okay, but let's get started on the review. So we start with Henry. Pretty basic to me. Nothing special. Then Sam comes. The childhood crush that still haunts Henry through his adulthood. At last, we have Seth. A hopeless romantic. I liked the story and what the plot was about. The fact that Henry has to accept that he's never going to be with Sam. But then Sam gets divorced and yare yare. There was one thing that set me off. Sam and his behavior. But I also wanna talk about Seth and my reasons for wanting Henry with Seth... Let's start with Sam and why I think he's manipulating. Sam has never thought about his feelings for Henry. But as soon as Henry confessed and Henry likes someone else, Sam likes him back? It seems so wrong. Like Sam didn't actually like Henry, but the thought of losing Henry was what triggered him. This theory only got supported by the fact that he legit said that he wouldn't be friends with him if they didn't get together... Is that something you should say to someone who's choosing between you (A childhood friend that Henry has liked his entire life, and connected to the only family he has ever really had) or a guy he meets like a couple of months ago (who likes him and wants to help him and build a healthy relationship)? I know that Henry got reminded of Sam when he was with Seth. But isn't that much better than a person who is legit trying to manipulate you? I don't get why that didn't set some people off. It made me think of Sam as manipulating. He knows what Henry is going through, and he still dares to say something like that? One of the many reasons I don't like him. Now to why I think Henry and Seth should have ended up together. First, I only think Seth had good intentions. Not saying any of them had any bad ones. But Seth was just so pure and seem to want to help Henry and build a relationship. I will admit that Seth did some things that set me off. But so did every character in this series. You could also feel Seth mature as the story went, and he seemed to be a good guy in the end. The pros for Henry to date Seth would be that he would get a healthy relationship. Where they could both grow as people,(and I don't feel that would happen with Henry and Sam.) and Henry could begin to be freer. While the cons would be he would probably lose his entire "family" and a childhood best friend. He cons and pros were both big on Seth, while there was nothing on Sam's part. I also felt like it was a huge weight on me knowing Henry had liked Sam from childhood. And of course, that allowed Sam to do things that Seth wouldn't be able to. I feel like it would have been a lot more light-hearted and a lot sweeter if Henry and Seth ended up together. This is just some point about the story. I have a lot, but I don't think I will be able to fit it in here. (〜￣△￣)〜
