A bit slow to start but then really enjoyed it. Laughed out loud a few times. Loved pretty much the entire cast of characters. There were some absolutely adorable and sweet moments (pretty much anything that took place in Brighton).

Check the content warnings. Thought this would just be fluffy and there was definitely more to it than that.

I absolutely adored this book! Seeing how both Tiffy and Leon grew as people was just a thrill to read. 

It take me a bit to get into the book but once they started exchanging notes to each other I was hooked! 

I laughed, cried and celebrated with the characters. I also loved that we had such a great mix of ‘side characters’, because they were key parts of the story and were well thought out and had their own stories happening that you got to learn about through the two main characters. 

Spoiler

the whole Justin thing had me on the edge towards the end. Especially when he showed up to the flat when everyone was waiting for Richie. I was terrified for Tiffy. But I was so happy to see that all her friends were there to support her.

Slow burn typically isn’t my thing, so it took me a bit to get into this. I loved how distinct each narrators voice was in their chapters and in their notes. I was expecting the book to be light and fluffy and moderately smutty, but it wasn’t that at all (in a good way). Definitely check CWs before reading, but I thought the heavier topics were covered respectfully.
