loved the characters, especially as an audiobook. at times felt like im being told their feelings, experiences, mindsets, instead of describing those things which took me out of the scene alot

It was alright. I’m not a big fan of when characters start jumping to conclusions about the intentions of other characters and then having large blown out emotional responses based on assumptions, it’s really quite frustrating sometimes but maybe that’s also just a bit realistic to human nature sometimes. Overall story concept was good and the author did a decent job at crafting the narrative.

Such a beautiful book! I was fully immersed in these characters’ lives and wellbeing. I couldn’t help but root for them. Just a well-written romance that was time well spent to read. And even though it touched on some difficult topics, it never felt too exploitative or graphic (in my opinion as someone who is very sensitive to that kind of thing.)

Loved this beyond, beyond. Every word miraculous and just what it needs to be. Such gorgeously drawn characters, from the smallest side folks to the incredible MCs, each with powerful and deeply human challenges, layers, and growth. I adored the audio and can’t wait to have my hands on a physical copy - I will read it again. I loved it more than I have loved anything in a long time and it will stay with me forever.
