If we’re going purely based on vibes…. 4⭐️ loved the romance, loved that he fell first and fell harder tbh, loved the family feel and the relatability of the older sister responsibilities. if we’re going off of practicality and realistic expectations…. 3/3.5⭐️ i feel like there were a lot of surface level feelings/issues that didn’t really delve deep/resolve at the end. The ending also felt super rushed. i read and rate purely based on vibes pretty much all the time but this one had me a little indecisive.
