 Well I’m sorry in advance but this one didn’t live up to my expectations 😭 maybe it was the hype, maybe it’s just a me thing but I couldn’t actually LOVE this one, I did like it tho!! I promise!!

Okay straight to business:

This was a bit long for my liking.. and maybe a bit unnecessary to make it THAT long 😅 I felt like nothing happened for the majority of the story, it was cute but boring at the same time.. it was very predictable, which is okay, but why so long?!? 😭😂 sorry I’ll stop with that now

Characters: they were okay! I liked them both (main), and the side characters too. Asher is soooo cute and everything he does for her?? Ohhhh I died 🥹❤️‍🩹

The relationship was okay, I mean they jump into it a bit fast but it was okay!!

I was actually enjoying this one until that third act breakup and OMG can we just throw them into the trash already?? It’s so anticlimactic, and honestly? I don’t think anyone thinks they could forgive and forget stuff that easily, it’s just ridiculous 🙈

So yeah, it didn’t work out for me THAT WELL, but so many people love it so you should definitely give it a go!
