If you get it you get if you don't you don't if you know you know if you don't know like I honestly feel bad for you like I cannot explain it like I don't have the vocabulary to sit here and explain it like you know you get the vibe or you don't get the vibe.

Very promising start with an incredibly chaotic and lackluster ending.. I ultimately didn't really care for the characters but also there's a scene at the end that I found it to be quite touching so i really don't know where to stand with this one but I can say that I was hoping for so much more than what it ended up being

Very sweet, lighthearted & cozy book that was surpsingly emotional with a main character that had depth and was so compelling to follow. It was the perfect book to tap into my delusions and summon the fall vibes during the heat of the summer 🥴

Very entertaining, twisty and original tho I was only satisfied with one character outcome the other storylines were kinda meh I didn't hate them by any means I was entertained but didn't care much especially by the end but still really good I might've gone into it with too high expectations tho...
