gabbatron_'s review

I DNF’d this at 72%, I just really think it should’ve have come with some trigger warnings. I thought this was gonna be a fun cute romance and it was in fact the opposite

If you go into the book expecting something similar to Hoang’s first two novels, you will be surprised by the sudden turn in tone. Yet, the bittersweetness of the book (minus a few cringey moments) makes it a beautiful standalone novel

I love this book so much. It was so much sadder than I expected it to be and I would recommend checking the content warnings before reading. Anna and Quan’s love story is so raw and real and I would recommend reading it 100 times over <3
