Mini Update: it's literally been 2 months since I read this and shi you not I don't remember anything that happens
OG review: Listen was this art, no, but ngl it was a nice wee read, it read like fanfiction but what do you expect from a 2013 romance book based in college? I think there was a grand total of like 1 miscommunication and it was quickly shot down in the following chapter. It was also a genuine slow burn and ofc as it was NA the spice was there. I will say though the casual slut shaming of one of the characters did kinda piss me off and it did kinda read as a "you're not like the other girls" and some of the dialogue was cringe, once again that is the fault of the 2010s so I can't blame the author.
Overall I appreciate the writer treated the adult characters as adults like all of their responses to things ended up being quite mature or justified. I won't be continuing the series nor buying a physical copy (romance series like this ain't my thing and the real people being on the cover pisses me off).
