I love all of these stories even though they follow exactly the same format, except….”This Time Around”. I found Milo to be petulant and abusive to Andy. I would have walked…no…RUN far away as soon as he compared me with a serial rapist. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a “LOVE’ interest character in stories, good or bad. Milo as a background character would have been enough in my opinion.

I did enjoy the others, especially Lyric and Memphis, John and Emory, Kyle and Chaz, Wren and Dare, Romeo and Julius, but give a more deserving boyfriend to Andy.

Milo was angry at Andy for leaving him in 8th grade. The story says that after Andy left, Milo spent his last 2 years of high school with Tucker. So Tuck and Milo were together in 9th and 10th grade. What 8th grader holds a grudge 12 years later about a kid who moved away when you were 13?

This is not a critique of this author whom I love reading. She is AMAZING!
