“EZ GOT GAME!” one fan wrote. “Or at least a sexy smile.”
Another added, “Yes yes yes I like this Girl for EZ!!”
Others were critical of Gaby, or were jealous that they couldn’t help the main character move on from his past relationship themselves.
“I’m probably the only one who doesn’t like EZ & Gabi, right?” a fan said.
Another countered, writing, “He gone lead her on tho, he’s still Emily-obsessed.”
