I agree that would've been nice, and the third perspective would've helped the situation too so Callum didn't have it feel so one sided. Love Baxter though as well, Marcus is cute and has his moments, but feels like he has a bit more obvious flaws to him. I remember in WiFL Baxter said he owed Callum a favor, and I think that's what got him to go back before the wedding to fix things, so while they deff had their moments in this, I was hoping to see more close interactions between the two of them to give us that sense of closeness as friends more than just casual friends, but doing all that would've definitely made it longer lol And course! Great story so happy to talk about it with someone who shares similar feelings :3
Also one othet complaint is that i wish Callums dad had more to do. Unlike Mylos mom he seems to be a more reactionary person and just reacts to things especially when we don't know whst happened during the 4 year peroid and why he stopped seeing Callum for a year(probably to treat depression so that Callum wouldn't see him get buried). I wish we saw him and Callum have a misunderstanding during his grounded peroid that would've allowed the two to come to a better understanding and that he had a bigger role with the diner incident with Callums mom where he straights up tells her off and defends Callum, making it clear that he's not tolerating her actions. Just those two moments alone would elevate him.
Agree?
Yeah I see what you mean, makes him more of a side / background char in ways otherwise. I think he had some understanding, if i recall (been awhile since I read) he picks him up after he meets with his mom at the diner and it's kinda like he knows that he just experienced what he had known for years. So felt more like a silent understanding scenario
I don't mind that at all just wish he did more in the plot is all. Like step in when Callums mom lashed out and tell her off making it clear he won't let her sabotage Callums future.
Mylos mom really was a fun character and really balanced the strict yet supportive mother. Especially when she meets Baxter
