Didn’t really like the writing, the 3rd act dilema is kind of forced, and the whole reason why she can’t remember that first night is straight up weird.. The fmc isn’t that interesting, although I did enjoy the social anxiety rep but I do think the author could have gone further with it. Also, I would of liked to see more of their relationship building, like hanging out together with friends and whatnot, they just studied a lot together and f*cked (which tbh, the smut scenes felt a bit detached like I wasn’t reading about the main couple - they could be anyone.. just a bit out of place, didn’t feel like the main characters at all) 
I do feel like the mmc was pretty charming and super considerate of the fmc feelings and overall aware of her. Like he really saw her. But that’s basically it. 
Pretty cheesy
