This is one of my new favourite books. It’s only flaw is its lack of an epilogue, but otherwise I LOVE it.
I was hesitant to read it at first because I found the title cringy and I feared it was going to be a case of “author wants fanfic tropes for their ocs without realising fic works because readers already know the characters” AND BOY WAS I WRONG because if there’s something this book definitely has is full fledged, fully developed, 3 dimensional characters AND SO MORE MUCH ANGST THAN I EXPECTED WITH SUCH A CUTESY TITLE????
I cried so many times and I also highlighted literally half of the book because it was that good oh my god please read it you won’t regret it
