yippee i finished reading this book

3.5 stars

I love how calm this book was, but i seem to be the minority here on my overall opinion of it. i’m ngl i don’t see why there’s so many reviews that make the book seem so good and i really didn’t feel much all throughout the book and i never really found myself very attached to any of the characters (sorry sunny :p). maybe i would have enjoyed it more if i paid more attention to the audiobook instead of only listening to it right before i fall asleep. idk this book was pretty cute, but i just don’t get the hype :[

The ending was beautiful and made me cry. I think this is a good book objectively, but subjectively it wasn't my taste exactly. Will be reading the sequel tho!
