it took me so long to get through this book because i found the ending a bit slow, so i kept putting the book down and not feeling invested enough to pick it back up. but today i read the last 60% in one sitting. i would say that i really started to get invested a little over halfway into the book.

once the romance started picking up, it had me giggling and kicking my feet, but then i would start shaming myself for being so invested because like he's a ghost?? i feel like i should've maybe seen the ending coming but honestly i was not expecting it at all.

i think it was so cute and the premise was so interesting. benji and florence were definitely made for each other. i just wish i had stuck with this book sooner rather than letting myself take 2 months to read it!
