This was honestly a very impressive debut considering it was written by a 15 year old! Rom Coms can be really hit or miss for me and I often find myself dnfing ones written by inexperienced writers, but I didn't even consider it for this one. It wasn't perfect by any means, a lot of if felt kind of unrealistic and silly but the writing was engaging and it had good pacing up until the end. It did feel like there were a lot of dropped threads and pointless details added in that didn't end up going anywhere. And the SA that comes in at the end was not particularly graphic and it was alluded to ahead of time so I clear it coming but unfortunately it really didn't feel like it added anything to the plot so it felt a bit gratuitous. Overall, I enjoyed this book and I'll be interested in seeing what the author does next, but I probably won't be recommending it to others.
