Entertaining read, felt fairly service level but I enjoyed it. Feels like it only really came to a peak in the last 50 pages or so.

Really enjoyed this book. Super quick read and a breeze to get through.
Cried at so many different parts , out of happiness for the couple, stress on whether they’d be together, and felt myself falling in love with the characters and going through the same emotional rollercoasters.
Updating my review now to 5 stars after continuing to think about this book the rest of the day.

Found myself tearing up multiple times and getting sad about them leaving each other at the end of each day, or frustrated that they wouldn’t stay with each other!>

My a great conclusion - didn’t need to be quite as long. Felt like the ending was lack luster
