This wasn't what I expected but I'm not disappointed!! It was great <3
I really wanted to give this book the full writing but there were a few little things that bothered me. The biggest one: the pace was a little bit off at times. There were some times were literal hours has passed in the time of one paragraph. I really appreciated it fast-paceness but it could have been done more smoothly when a scene passed into another. Also, I could leave without Pip's POV tbh but this let us know my aromantic queen Temi better so I'm not complaining.
