![]() ![]() There would still have been plenty to do for plot but they could have been doing it together, which as a reader, I always find more satisfying than characters going it alone for selfish reasons like wanting to be seen as nicer than they are. ![]() He starts to unravel this toxic behavior towards the end, but most of the pain in this book would have been avoided by Wes working *with* his found family rather than trying to keep them at arm’s length. Lexi’s injury drives his vengeance rather than being about her, and he never fully makes amends for scaring Evan’s boyfriend. Wes spends this entire book being whiny and selfish and vengeful in turn, yet people seem to think he’s wonderful. His tendency to make everything his “fault” is something that centers his experience at the heart of other people’s problems.

He’s all Hudson, all the time, which diminishes my ability to believe in how much he loves his found family.
