Jacksprat Gets Lost in Fiction

Currently in April I'm participating the O.W.Ls Readathon hosted by G at Book Roast Booktube channel for the first time.

Riley Finn: He is Buffy's boyfriend in season 4 and half-way through 5.  Riley gets a lot of hate, especially after his actions in season 5.  I agree it was a dumb choice, but cannot help his insecurities or at least he won't get over it overnight.  I feel like it was partly Buffy's fault too, the problems they had.  Riley was...
