Uhm, it had okay potential but it was just not good. It felt like the writer just wrote a bunch of shit in the middle so that way it made the book longer. it just got boring. their relationship didn't evolve until the last 50 pages and then it just felt super rushed and out of place. The writer herself isn't bad, it's honestly just the book. felt like I was reading a huge Wattpad story tbh. Would not recommend it. Booktok is lying to you. Way overpriced.

this is the book that made everyone on tiktok cry? really?

it builds up for so long. Every page seems to build hype and foreshadowing for this looming Something and in the last 4 chapters everything falls apart. most of this book is so painfully slow-burn. and when they finally get together, most of it is about breaking up with sylvie anyway. finny also just straight up cheats on her.

I’m still gonna read the sequel because I need a bigger picture here
