More like 3.5. Story has a lot of potential, since the concept is pretty interesting. To me, it was executed in a mediocre way, read like a generic romance, drama introduced in random spurts, character development talked about BY THE CHARACTERS, rather than actually showing the character develop. MC annoyed me (as do most romance protags, which gave away the mediocre journey I was about to embark on). Really, I loved the concept, but did we need all that exposition about the unrealistic best friend and mother? Whatever. It had enjoyable moments. I hope other people enjoyed it more than me!!
