I really enjoyed this book, I feel like it was a breathe of fresh air. I loved the fact that it was like a dark romance RomCom. I also like how it talked about how it talked about certain topics with more care than I expected. Definitely one of my favorites.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.

I liked the premise of the book but the execution was just not there for me personally. I got like almost all the way through it and realized that it felt like it was dragging in a way I didn't like.

I liked this book it took me longer then usual to figure out the twist,

I'm just really not a fan of third act breakups, I wish authors felt comfortable not having to use that trope but I also understand it's very common
