The friendship part is written in this extremely awkward "let's spell out in words that we are now best friends after we knew each other for not even a day like 6-year-olds on the playground" way.
It's bizarre really.
The author tries to create a strong but vulnerable MC but the result is far from what she probably imagined.
The MC is immature, insecure, and completely at the mercy of her own volatile emotions.
She recognizes these flaws in herself but this doesn't enable her to grow beyond them or give her the strength to withstand these childish impulses.
If you want to read yet another story where the MC is completely driven by base emotions and twisted in knots around some sort of classic deep, fated insta-love, then this is probably a good book for you.
I don't dislike many of these tropes in general but I want them with a bit more depth and an interesting MC. Many authors nowadays seem to confuse being contrary with being strong and this is a classic example of a character that never actually exerts any agency and always ultimately gives way.
I think the main problem here is that all the opportunities the MC has to actually demonstrate spine would make the plot fall apart. So she can never actually do anything that shows her strength and everyone just kind of has to pretend she is strong to even be slightly believable.
