A romance that starts out happy, then goes sad, and then becomes happy at the end. My main complaints are how the book deals with sensitive topics like depression and anxiety, mentioning them in places where they didn’t contribute anything to the story. It feels like they were randomly put there. Another annoyance is the dialogue, which feels incredibly forced in most places. There is also a sex scene in literally every chapter. Overall, a fun read that did make me laugh a bit, even with some quite big flaws.
Graphic: Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, and Suicide attempt
Minor: Homophobia
