this is an interesting book.
i was going to dnf this, for the first half was not it. the lack of communication made me so frustrated, and the gaslighting every ‘banter,’ showcases a toxic relationship. i was confused on why people liked this, and why they aspire to have a relationship like them.
however, when i got to the second half, i was stupidly smiling. it definitely picked up in that part, and i was very intrigued with what i was reading.
i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who despises the miscommunication trope. it was a challenge to pass through it for me as well.
