This books is cute and a fun read. It is very reminiscent of the fanfiction written about a certain ship that rhymes with Barry in both content and just vibes. I enjoyed reading it. I think the characters are pretty good and I became decently invested in their fates by the end. I think for those like myself who have enjoyed a good fanfic at some point in their lives, this will be a great read.
However, I must say that in some regards it was slightly disappointing. I felt that a lot of issues addressed had a lack of depth and used more as a device to drive the plot rather than being plots within themselves. Also, there was a complete lack of showing not telling. There were long paragraphs just thrown in at random points describing the wants and preferences of the characters in detail without them really needing to be there. The writing style wasn’t for me as I found it too simplistic but I can see how a slightly younger reader (about 14-15) might really enjoy the elements I disliked.
Overall, I’d recommend reading this book if this is a concept you like or if you just want a easy read that still has some realistic representations of people and their struggles rather than a really depressing and thought provoking book. The romance is cute and if that’s what you’re here for, give this a read.
