I'm feeling really sad about my opinion on this book because I sincerely wished I loved it as much as everybody else, but unfortunately I don't.
What I like about this book is how easy it was to visualize the setting especially in the first half of the storyline, the plot was kinda surprising at times and... That's it I guess.
Other than that, the book is easy to read even though the writing style is not made for me and I had a hard time enjoying the story because of it. I didn't get attached to any of the characters, and I felt like I was wasting my time while reading this book. The romance was very underwhelming to me.
So I think it's pretty generous of me to give a two star based on my experience of the story. I don't know if it's because I'm not a romantic or this book is really boring and the love story forgettable but I hope that I'll be able to find a contemporary romance that is way better.
