Wow this is just bad. I do not know if this is a translation issue or the original writing is just so horrendously bad. (And there are also so many typos which make it hard to believe this is a traditionally published work from Bloom Books.) There is literally nothing to adore. Noah acts like a poorly disciplined 7 year old and I just simply hate rude people. I understand she was frustrated because of the move but that is not the reason to be a damn brat. The feeling between Noad and Nick is pure lust. So many plot holes and time jumps make it difficult to see where the story is actually heading to and how the characters develop feelings for each other. And I do not understand why rape is a thing that can be taken so lightly as if it is some kind of regular daily activities such as getting up in the morning to pee. The movie is not even great but I can still give it a 3 out of 5 for its casting and the edits made on the plot. I do not remember rape was once brought up or hinted in the movie. I think the movie writer probably delete that part because it is just so inappropriate and problematic.

I read this book because I needed something to read and loved the movie, but the translation isn’t great and I overall liked the movie better which is RARE for me. It wasn’t bad, but not as good as other romances I have read this year.

I needed to read this book after watching the movie to see which one I’d like better and I think I choose the movie.
However, I did enjoy checking out the differences and getting to read scenes that were cut out from the film.
This was so Wattpad coded and it makes total sense considering this was indeed a Wattpad story at the beginning, and It gave me all the After vibes with the bad boy/good girl relationship.
This book gave what it needed to give and I ate it up. I read it in-between other reads so it took me a month to finish… I guess since I had a notion of what it was about I had to take little breaks and read something new.
I do kind of regret not reading this book in its original language because the English translation was a bit weird.
Nevertheless, I already have the second book and I’m even more excited to read that one before the movie this time!
