loved this so much, such an interesting concept with the layered themes of classism and wealth disparity as well is the immigrant child guilt(hitting a bit too close to home)
also alice and henry were such a good couple with a subplot of academic rivals to lovers, they are so precious also chanel was an amazing side character too

I really enjoyed both MCs of the book, it was interesting reading about a breaking relationship rather than the beginning, Dom and Alessandra were complex characters with very interesting character dynamics, and I loved the side plots especially Dom and Roman and liked having a bit of closure for them

I really enjoyed this, although the pacing was slightly off at times. 

Great read, great character, great concept.

I did find the double breakup slightly tedious, I feel the second one should have been the only one.
The pacing was odd, it felt dragged out at some places and too quick at others.
