Sort of spoilery review here:

I really just wanted to take a moment to talk about diverse this cast is!! The main character is demisexual (me 2 girl), her best friend is Vietnamese, her other best friend is presumed to be bisexual (also me 2), her advisor is presumably Turkish. like the cast is just so diverse which is so nice to see. All too often do books just feature a bunch of generic white people so it was nice to see a good mix of everyone in this cast!My opinion on how spicy this book is:

There's only one part of the book that features smut, however it is pretty graphic. I have put as a warning that the smut is graphic because it is, but it doesn't last for very long. I honestly think there was less smut in this book than in any of the Emily Henry books I've read. That being said, use your noggin and do what's best for you!!Graphic: Sexual content, Cursing, and Cancer

I must confess that I was reticent about this book. Not because it used to be star wars fanfiction (I only discover that after buying the book) but because it is a popular book. Popular books are 50/50 to me, and I'm always reticent about starting one. But I really liked it.
As far as romances go, this isn't the best romance that I ever read. But it's damn entertaining and I was engaged all the time. And that makes all the difference to me. It's a little cliché at some points but there are some plot points that caught me by surprise. The characters are interesting and funny, which was also a good point for me!
So, I really liked this book, and I do recommend it if you want something light and entertaining. Its a really good beach read.

The sexual assault was pretty jarring, especially because the whole story previously had been fluffy, sweet, and generally completely unserious.Graphic: Sexual content, Sexual harassment, Panic attacks/disorders, and Sexual assault
