Took me ages to get through this, seems to be far longer than it needed to be but I liked it all the same. Cute wholesome read.

*3.5 but rounded up because, well, because I had a gay ol' time reading it

So. This novel is very adorable and feel good-y and I enjoyed following the characters and their love story. It did feel very much like a wattpad fanfiction (which you can interpret any way you'd like). It really was very wholesome and cute and while I enjoyed that very much, I realized that I also like some realism in my books. Like not every character being badass just for the sake of having some (forced) funny moments. Like a depressed mother not suddenly stepoing up for her children. Like a jerk not suddenly changing into a bettdr person.

The whole happinesses thing did feel a bit forced, is what I'm saying. BUT dont attack me, I know fluff and happiness was what the book was about, and it achieved it very well. I just realised its not 100% for me. But I had a gay ol' time.
