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.

3/6/23 - 3/8/23

I loved this book 

I loved all the characters and their different personalities (Rachel cracked me up and i’d love to have Tiffys friends) 

This book moves SO SLOW in the beginning or at least the romance does (obviously they’re only speaking throught notes) 

I knew it was creepy when Justin kept showing up randomly everywhere she went and i just figured he was like hacking into her stuff (is Marvin completely dense) 

Okay the actual romance LEON IS A LITTLE SWEET HEART (not in bed ig though 😏 not even joking when he was being you know all dirty and stuff my jaw DROPPED i was shocked) 

Id love to see Tiffys wardrobe and her outfits because i had such a hard time visualizing it.

Richie made me giggle (was rooting for either gerty and richie or rachel and richie ngl)

Gerty being with Mo was SUPER OBVIOUS if you just look at all the hints but i was not focused on them AT ALL especially not Mo (sorry) love a supportive friend and all and you need that like angel on Tiffys shoulder but Gertys just bluntness also made me giggle 

I was reading this book in between my classes (having no friends and also having 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hour long breaks between classes sucks ass) and i’m SO GLAD i didn’t read the last like 5 chapters while there because I COULD NOT BE QUIET I GASPED WHEN JUSTIN PROPOSED and practically cried when leon was all sad and tiffy was struggling.

Don't walk run to the book shop and buy this book

This book is everything I could have wanted and more. It is a must read. This book is perfection. I envy anyone who gets to read this for the first time. 

The characters are perfect, they are so realistic and honest and human that when the book ends you feel like you've said goodbye to some friends. This book deals with difficult subjects so make sure you check the trigger warnings before you read this book. 

5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
