Idk exactly the reason but I really liked this. 

The banter bw the two characters was impeccable. Normally friends to lovers is not my jam but dang I get it with this book. 

I loved the mental health representation, specifically about how two different people can have the similar mental health conditions but they manifest in such different ways. Also I’m just a huge fan of fun spicy romances that tackle trauma as well bc it’s so realistic for people to have issues to work through alongside a relationship. Also the parts where the characters are confronted by their loved ones saying that they are valued and deserve happiness ughhhh it gets me good. 

Solely bc I’m not a friends to lovers person, I cannot understand the appearance of chemistry and sexual tension all of a sudden. I’m glad it was mentioned that they both felt it when younger but just didn’t act on it, but idk it still just felt off. 
I also wish they talked more about their future together, specifically bc they had some conflict there and it felt a little brushed under the rug. 
Oh and the mean girl plot line towards the end felt out of pocket and a tad unnecessary. It didn’t rlly add much to the plot except for maybe Felicity getting some closure from highschool, but I feel like that could’ve been accomplished another way. 

Anyways that’s not to say I didn’t rlly like this book. I had such an awesome time reading it, and it kept me engaged to read it in one day. I’ve been struggling with sticking to a book recently so this was just what I needed. The chemistry between the characters in this series is always so good, and I’m excited to read the next book :))
