Listen my rating system is not all the same. Because technically this is not a four probably like a three, but I had so much fun reading this I’m rating it just on the vibes. This is not while written and the characters were actually annoying, but I just found myself so entertained. I did like the characters together for the most part. This does have heavier topics which I wasn’t expecting, but what made it more interesting. The spicy scenes are honestly kind of bad. IT’s instalove as well which is annoying because this is a 500 page book but whatever. I literally just listed all the things I didn’t like and yet it’s still a four star. Maybe my rating will change later but who knows.

3.25
story and Plot -> 3.75
i didn't enjoy the constant wave of slow and fast paced. the faster paced parts were interesting and addictive to read. during the slower paced parts, where nothing much plot.relevant happened, i sometimes just skimmed the pages, to get to the more interesting parts.
writing -> 2.5
i found there to be too many repetitive mentioning and overused metaphors to describe feelings and circumstances. sometimes the pov's changed back and forth too quickly for my taste.
