3⭐️This should’ve been the best book in the series thus far. As a friends-to lovers story, it should’ve had the emotional development/connection that the previous books lacked. Instead it was the opposite. Both of the characters spend hundreds of pages in their heads thinking “Oh I am like madly in love with this person but there’s no way they’ll reciprocate. I can’t ruin this/lose them.” Yet you still don’t really know why they love each other so much. They drag on like this for a LONG time. It became very repetitive and by the end I wasn’t a fan of either of the characters. Also the storyline with the mmc’s brother was such an unnecessary downer. This book wasn’t the worst, but it sure wasn’t for me.
