lovelylady's review against another edition
The premise of this book held a lot of promise, and I was really interested to see where it was going. Unfortunately, it was just way too melodramatic and over the top for me. It was like watching one of those late night dramas that stir up crap for the sake of the drama and nothing is rooted in true human interactions.
Both MC's are unrealistic and the dialogue far to on point. People just don't talk that open and honestly all the time. There is a lot of suspension of disbelief in romance, this one just asked for too much of it for me to enjoy.

This was the first time in a long time i both struggled and loved reading this book. There were times I wanted to DNF snd be done with it, but other times where it legit made me laugh out loud, shed a tear, and kilig (aka giddy) hahaha.
Things i didnt like:
- Instalove isn’t really a peoblem for me,, but this was going too fast. And i know instalove is unrealistic irl, but its a contemporary romance so the way he falls for her and gets so obsessed was intense, and i questioned why she never rlly fought him back on it (like that timehe had cameras installed, but n in her room tho!) and she did get angry, but it was soon forgotten, so why bother? ).
- There were times the writing was soo wattpad like as well, and the flow wasnt that great and could get confusing at times.
- i felt for the characters and what happened to them, i think theyre funny as well, but at the same time they seem pretty flat? I wasnt so invested in them, they were like caricatures sometimes.
- ending felt rushed and haphazardly put together without much buildup.
Things i loved:
- the found family theme. The friendship. It’s all so touching :’)
- the overly sweet hero (i started liking him after 60% in hahaha he was unbearable at the beginning but yea, his gestures to the FMC were rlly romantic… bordering on unrealistic hahaha i cant imagine a guy being that sweet, but yea it was fluffy.
- the kids.
Will i reread someday? Only certain cute parts.
Will i read the next book? Unsure yet… although its intriguing as its Julia and Trevors story. Update: nope.
