A wholesome love story about friendship embracing romance tropes via a platonic relationship amongst two aroace young adults. I found it too slow paced, repetitive and forced in the writing and plot development to rate it any higher than this but I do think the author hit the marks they intended to. I try to always read children’s, MG and YA novels with a grain a salt because I am not the intended audience but I do still feel like the story could’ve been shorter. I kept thinking it was about to end (or praying for it to, lol) and then it wouldn’t. It was very hard to not DNF but definitely glad I stuck it through! Adorable and heartwarming overall.
