welp, my reading/listening expirience had quite the ride. i started the audiobook on May 9th(??) and it took me so long to read it. i literally finished 3 books in the meantime. 

it was a sweet book but while I took some time off it I realized that it was pretty mediocre. some scenes were good, the plot was interesting but the lack of communication annoyed the heck out of me. and this circles back to the time where someone had told me that you can't write a good book without lack of communication, to which i'd say fuck yes you can't. but this book clearly is not the way. i think I stayed mainly for the plot regardless of how ridiculously predictable it was. characters were cute but in some moments also unnecessary annoying. the overly explained stuff bothered me too. and I don't see why I liked it so much up to the 70th %. but I did like it so I'll give my past self some credit and won't vote it as low as I think of it now.

good read when i'm in the mood for some basic rom-com stuff.
