Let me get this straight, I ate this book.

I adored the idea of it.

Was Charlie a walking red flag most times? Yes.

The banter was the entertainment of the whole story, it’s actually what kept me going over and over.

The guinea pig added a whole bunch of points for me because I have one and I almost died when I read for the first time ever in a book that the main character had guinea pigs. Yes, I’m that easy to manipulate.

But that was sadly not enough for me to love this, I tried tho. I just can’t force myself into loving a story that has this many awkward moments. I get that Charlie was how he was because life forced him into that way but man he was so mean to Emma, and Emma isn’t even that better too.. she’s very manipulative and she guilt trips Charlie a lot..

Now the ending really saves a lot of the book, I almost cried 🥲 it’s weird because the romance was barely there but I got through it anyway 😅

I really don’t know if I would recommend this or not, but you have here my thoughts and the aesthetic of it, so if you feel intrigued please be my guest
