Spoiler warning
I enjoyed this book, it’s not what I usually read however I like Rainbow Rowell’s writing. Some parts are kind of cringe and I really hate how a straight girl writing about a gay relationship is seen as deviant and interesting. It felt kind of mlm fetishy especially coming from a female writer. I really enjoyed how Cath and Levi’s romance bloomed and I loved some of the romantic parts, Rowell writes romance so well :-)
Overall a very interesting but cliché book.
