4.5

This was beautifully written, painfully poignant, messy and devastating. I don't read straight, contemporary, lit fic-esque romances and initially while reading I was not feeling captivated. But when the nuance and mess were introduced, I was captured by the way the MC thought, processed, and communicated. I think I fell in love with Feyi too.
