I think aside from it being poorly written the biggest flaw of the like us series at least for me is how repetitive it got like i used to imagine what they’ll do next as careers or what their love interests would be like but i think what the authors chose imo was so boring and like i get it moffy falling in love with a bodyguard but all of them come one it’s ridiculous there are so many people in this planet i used to imagine like maybe theyll date actors or directors or artists or someone non famous ( i even had the idea of one of them falling for someone who works for the calloway docu series i guess i wasnt far of with that) also career wise like i also used to imagine if they’ll follow their parent’s footsteps or create their own what will they do and again moffy doing charity and thats it and jane trying to find her passion plot annoyed me so much im sorry if it was meant to be relatable like trying to find yourself but it really didn’t do anything for me and i wish when we got sulli’s story she didn’t retire from her swimming career idk i genuinely think the younger kids are so much more interesting at least from what we see im so sorry for talking so much i just got carried away because everytime i think about all the waisted potential of the series and how perfect addicted was and what the sisters are writing now it really makes me kinda sad and angry but its making them money so who am i to judge
i suppose i would agree that the repetition is the worst part because it’s so stupid and nonsensical but i also hate how half assed all the couples are. i’m fond of marrow for inexplicable reasons but i think most of the couples in the series don’t even feel like they love each other 😭 they were just paired together with no chemistry and no reasoning. (i think sulli, akara, and banks fall into this category the strongest for me with jane and thatcher lagging a little behind. i also find oscar and jack cute although i think maybe we’re seeing a pattern of the two couples that weren’t repeat stories taking the lead in my mind)
i definitely think while non-famous people they can trust are harder to come across in their lives, they’re better love interests? idk i feel like irl so many celebrities end up landing with someone who is apart from the chaos of their life and can give them a calmer lifestyle, although there are plenty of success stories with celebs marrying celebs and we didn’t see any of that in this series. it would have been fun for them to invent a celebrity love interest i think. i also think charlie is a dick but i think i’m so excited for his romance mainly because roxanne is so under the radar and he just wants an all consuming love it’s the perfect trope for me. i also love that beckett’s is ballet rivals to lovers i just hope they can execute the polyamory better than whatever it was they did to sulli bc girlie deserves way better than that shit show 😭
i will say that i agree - i thought jane’s career plot was one of the most annoying choices they ever made and i found it torturous to read and then the end result ended up being so anticlimactic 😭 it almost feels like they just used it to give the characters excuses to be in fun/different places for scenes. however, i do actually think the series is going in the direction of moffy taking over hale co eventually rather than charity continuing to be his main focus
i also was disappointed that sulli wasn’t swimming in her books because i love sport books and i thought it would have been cool to see a competitive swimmer! they also made it GLARINGLY obvious that she missed swimming competitively which made their foreshadowing attempts shallow but i was very pleased with her decision at the end of fearless to go back into swimming. probably one of the very few moments of the book i enjoyed
i agree! as time goes on i find myself just wishing these books could be over with already in favor of the younger kids. they recently hinted on their patreon that the “billionaires and bodyguards” portion of the series is coming to a close so i’m thrilled with that. i’m looking forward to luna’s books because i’m obsessed with the hale’s and i want lo’s reaction but 3 still seems like too many to me 😭 praying that those will be the official end of the bodyguard romances but i’m not paying for the patreon this month so i have no more inside scoop
give me kinney’s wlw book! give me xander’s book where we can see his mental growth! give me the winonajesse book! give me vada’s silly little bike book! GIVE ME BEN FUCKING COBALTS BOOK! like dude i’m readyyyy
