This is one of those books that will leave you feeling both fulfilled and empty by the end. So much happens in this book and yet by the end you still find yourself wanting more. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time and I recommend it to anyone who knows how to read. 5/5⭐️ will be reading this again! P.s. this one's a tear jerker, I am currently crying.

An easy to read book, fairly engaging. It seemed almost unfinished, but maybe that's opening up a book no. 2 -- which I'll definitely pick up. The writing was funny and gripping and easy. Cute romance, tho the confession lost me a little bit. Moves incredibly fast at some moments and slow at others -- I definetly wanted to explore more plot points before the boys moved on. Overall, I enjoyed reading, but I don't feel complete after completing the book. Maybe that's the point, but doesn't fit the vibe of the literary style.
