It was okay…

I gotta be honest this book is super overhyped. Especially on Tik tok. I literally bought it because of tik tok and I thought this is going to be a 5/5 read but it’s no. I think they fell in love WAY to fast and that destroyed the whole tension between them. I would’ve wished that it would’ve been a slow burn. I was actually told that it’s a slow burn but the literally confess they’re love to each other after 100 pages! Joshua is cute tho:)

If you’re looking for a fun book to read that isn’t slow burn than this is the right book for you<3

This was one of the typical examples of FMCs who are just SO small (like basically a fleck of dust!) and they feel the need to mention it constantly. The narrator was a bit annoying, but the MMC was really attractive, so that made up for it a little bit. I definitely feel like I lost a few brain cells reading this though, if I’m being honest. But it was a fun, easy read to get through.

Plot line was enjoyable. Quick read. Kind of weird that the book cover drawing shows two characters with brown eyes when both the MCM and FCM having blue eyes is such a significant portion of the dialogue 
emotional funny hopeful fast-paced
