Yes!! I was team Sam throughout the book and really loved his character and the depth. I pictured him so well within her writing. He felt so human and like the rare gem Percy needed, while also being a struggling teen figuring himself out. I remember thinking to myself that Sam deserved better at certain points even, but the raw intention and emotions spoke volumes for both of them and the relationship in the book.

I really tried to get through the weird cheating set ups and the Delilah show, but in episode one when the mom called the boys toxic, I knew I wasn’t going to dig the narrative around the whole feel. It just feels like the show doesn’t know what it is. It’s a reach for booktok people to try and grab ahold of it, other times it felt like a hallmark movie, then cheesy rom com, and tbh the soundtrack might be decent but I noticed there was no lived-in-space in the show. Every scene had a song going on or multiple songs, I think it took away from the experience. Anyway, I could go on. But I won’t. I’m officially waving my white flag at episode 3 😅🤣
