There was a point in this book where I said: surely she won’t. But she did. This just felt under developed.

I was expecting a light romcom. This was not it. Had some heavy themes in the first half of the book. Pacing took a plummet after the big events. And then the relationships felt absolutely contrived out of nowhere.

3.5 ⭐️
I liked the main plot of the book, but the ending felt very rushed.
(Side note, thought this was a romance book but it definitely is not)
