  “I believe in you. In us. Regardless of what happens, you will always be the best partner I’ve ever had. You’ll always be the hardest working person I’ve ever known. There will only ever be you.”

Ahhhhh, this was so good! MZ just does it well with her romances, Jasmine's character was so relatable, and the way she was portrayed grew on me every chapter. I adored her so much and with her attitude toward Ivan, AHHH I LIVE FOR IT!!

I related to Jasmine in so many ways that when it was mentioned in the book, I would call it out and say that is what I do and how I act since I'm the opposite of a bubbly happy person or whatever you call them. Jasmine is literally my comfort character and she always will be. I LOVE JASMINE!!

Anyways, moving toward the story, I think it was evident that Ivan liked her since he was always watching her and that counts as something. Also, I wonder if the reason why Ivan treated her that way is for the reason that Jasmine treated him at the beginning like shit and I just know he liked her even if she treated him like that.
Like he just needs to keep up you know?!

The banter between the two of them was always on point along with them arguing for no reason?! Now that's entertaining and enthralling. When they started being friends which I adored very much, that was when it truly showed that Ivan did care for her, and him just being there always made my heart warm. It's always the little things that truly mattered and there were so many!!

I could rant about how much I adore them both for as long as I could. That just shows how much I love them and enjoy everything that they did together with their funny witty conversations including their banter and hilarious comebacks.
 
 “I love you so much I spend all day with you, and it still isn’t enough for me,”
 
My overall thoughts about them...
