I reallllllly loved this book!! There’s so many parts that relate to my life, to a point that I felt so attached to the characters and cried multiple times.
It’s not even just about the romance, it’s about the anxieties and loneliness talked about. It’s about the descriptions of depressions and real life struggles within yourself and the friends you have. It’s about the pressures of growing up in certain families and the overwhelming feeling of never belonging.
I’m not a big romance reader and I read this because my book club was, it took me by surprise in the BEST way. I genuinely felt the chemistry between the characters and I could see how they really loved and cared for each other. I don’t personally think that any romance book can be perfect because there HAS to be a certain level of cheesiness.. but this was some cheesiness I was into.
I recommend this for a summer read. For any read really. 🫶🏻
