This was so much more than I expected. I didn’t expect to feel so connected to Gracie and Fangli. I thought this would be a silly fun rom com, which it was. But there was also so much heart and depth. It’s not a perfect book- it definitely had some pacing that was a little rocky. But it really meant something to me.
