I have mixed feelings about this one. It was definitely cute, and I did like the characters. It was an interesting story too, I just, wasn’t pulled in. 

Maybe it was the pacing; some parts did feel a bit over-written, and the narrator did tend to go on mental tangents a lot, which always makes my focus wander.
But that ending?? UGH. Like yeah, I get it. The point is to not sacrifice who you are for someone else or to build your whole sense of self around a relationship. Sure. That’s a good message. But I still closed the book feeling deeply unsatisfied.
