It was a well written book but the tropes were predictable and at times I felt like the character banter lacked. It was more along the lines of insta-love which when done well can really be adorable but this one needed a little more development. On top of that the characters focused soooo much on the age gap and mentioned that age is just a number and that since she experienced trauma it makes her older in a sense? But it was kind of annoying how many times it was brought up.
