Hmmm. This was almost a DNF for me at 50% and honestly I wish I had just DNF'd there and saved myself a lot of time.
I cannot bear huffiness in real life so the huffy, petty, childish FMC really wasn't enjoyable for me at all. The "miscommunication" trope was utterly tedious as well. It literally wasn't possible for Bianca not to know how Zack felt about her as he literally told her a zillion times and she still "didn't think he could possibly have feelings for her". That's not even miscommunication, it's just stupid!
It briefly got better once they finally got their act together, and the spice was decent for a bit but then just got to a point where it seemed very young / immature and cringe. The time jumps throughout were a lot as well, I don't know if there was a better way of doing it or not, but I didn't enjoy the time jumps at all.
Trying not to give spoilers, the ending made me mad... You never steal someone else's thunder on a special occasion. Not OK!!
I've given it 2 stars but honestly I just didn't enjoy it at all. But to each their own.
