I wasn't really excited about college drama from the start. Somehow, though, I made it through all the books, had James as a LI from the first book (and, looking back, he seems the most logical choice because of all this cuddling with Vasquez and writing) and feel content about it. Some parts of this series were really good (Nathan Sterling, Kaitlyn's coming-out, Becca's character growth, Vasquez and Twombly, some dialogues), but some points make me hate it.

1. Forced relationships in the first book. As you wrote, we have to date Chris, then James, then Kaitlyn... and then really good LIs (Zig and Becca) come. And I've been dating James all along. Great. (It paid off in the end, though, but I still think that Zig is the best one of the LIs as a person).

2. Kaitlyn. I agree with you, she's too angry (almost always, with everyone and for no reason), and she just annoys me. Why is our supposedly-best-friend such a jerk? Being a 'rock star' doesn't mean she should be an irresponsible jerk.

3. Sebastian. At first he is forced to be really bad, then he suddenly becomes good, then sabotages our boiler, then he is Tyler's paladin against Abbie. What. The. Hell. It makes the guy seem bipolar and psychologically unstable. That's too much even for someone with his backstory.

4. Diamond purchases of house décor in the Junior made me mad. Can't anyone give us a present or what? Because that's exactly how friendship works, and we're friends with nearly everyone at Hartfeld.

As for other issues, you covered them very well. Thanks for such an honest and enjoyable review!
