The relationship between Sally and Noah was cute, and I was rooting for them, but I felt like the conflict in the third chapter was a bit jarring, given the format of the first chapter didn't really give much insight into the flaws of the characters. I think a bit more development of the characters in the first part of the book would've made this feel a bit more natural. The love also did feel a little fast tracked, thiugh I guess thus is relatively normal for people of their age so it didn't put me off too much, but was something that took away slightly from me believing in their relationship. In saying all this, like I said previously, I was really rooting for them as a couple and enjoyed watching their story unfold.
It is also important to note that the second and third parts of this book deal heavily with the pandemic and covid. It didn't completely take me out of the book, but I found that it delved far deeper into these topics than I expected and I don't know if it was necessary. I feel like, to me, that we aren't far enough removed from these events for me to be able to compeltely enjoy a book that deals with these topics. It wasn't enough to make me DNF, and I did still enjoy watching their relationship develop more through these events, I just think similar events through a different point in time could've been better.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and the relationship and the characters, but there was just some things that took me out of the story a little bit. I would be interested in picking up another book by this author, though.
