I liked the concept of the story, but the book didn't wow me like it did many others.
It is a sweet and emotional story. The main character, Clementine, is grieving the death of her beloved aunt and is also struggeling in her career. This is a big part of the book besides the romance.
The romance is very insta-love and the switching of time lines sometimes got me confused. At the end of the book I became kinda bored and didn't feel like reading and finishing the book. Maybe this was the case because I didn't really feel emotionally connected to the characters. Both Iwan and Clementine felt kinda flat to me. If you easily forget things then this book is perfect. It is kind of impossible to forget the rules of the apartment because it is reapeted every few pages..
But there were definitely some cute moments and the audiobook was really good. I mainly enjoyed the first 2/3rd of the book.
