With every ounce of respect from writer to writer, I think the guy's POV is a little forced right now. I understand he's young and has had a crush on the girl for years though I think it could be executed more subtly. At least with my experience of liking someone for a long period, it tends to be something that we do fawn over the person but it's more mature and accepted. I love the parts where Kai gets giddy at Liya's smile or the things she does, it's adorable, but there's such thing as over-mentioning affection for a character (even in a romance).

That's so far my only complaint about the book! I love the banter between Kai and Liya, it's very organic and well-thought-out. They both have this sort of soulmate, on-the-same-wavelength thing that's rare in books that I find very charming. I love the portrayal of culture because I learn new things about Asian culture and these characters aren't just culture but relatable people.

Overall, I love how cute it is so far and that I'll keep reading!

I just finished the book! It's so cute!

The book overall was a delightful escapist read as it was told. My only complaint is the fact that the plot is very slow in progression and everything was sort of thrown out at the audience near the end in a very overwhelming fashion. I enjoy how the author distinguishes that no two people can match perfectly and that everybody can find someone who can bring out a certain chemistry in them—even from the most unlikely places.

I love the way the author made this main character make some sense! Natural born queen in my opinion ;)
