Don't walk run to the book shop and buy this book

This book is everything I could have wanted and more. It is a must read. This book is perfection. I envy anyone who gets to read this for the first time. 

The characters are perfect, they are so realistic and honest and human that when the book ends you feel like you've said goodbye to some friends. This book deals with difficult subjects so make sure you check the trigger warnings before you read this book. 

5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t usually like dual perspective but this book did it SO well. It took me a minute but I really enjoyed the difference in writing styles. I read this book as a nice breath of rom com ness and it delivered just that. Main couple was compelling and developed  so naturally!

I really liked this book and how it tackles some heavy subject like abusive relationship and the overwhelming about of falsely accused minorities in the prison system. A really cute but also important story. I recommend it but be warned it deals with some heavy subjects and there isn’t any spice.

Honestly found it a bit dull, but there were enough cute/sweet elements that helped me finish.

Also saw they cast Lady Sybil as Tiffy in the TV adaptation and I just…don’t see that. AT. ALL.
