YMMV / Teach Me How to Win (or Live)

• Slow-Paced Beginning: An opinion that's also shared by the author herself is that the story doesn't really start going anywhere until chapter 6, when the conflict of Cruz and Jackson's personal issues start becoming more and more apparent.
• The Woobie: It really isn't hard to feel bad for Cruz once we see that she's full of self-doubt, is constantly berated by Jackson, and lost both her parents at a young age.
