I thoroughly enjoyed the first 60% of this book, up until it came into the present day again.

I loved their story when they were in university, it was well written and quite slow burny and it was so good! I loved reading about their relationship and how it grew but then it goes to present day, and for me that’s where it goes downhill.

I’m sorry but Matt was a bit of a prick on the present day

Quick read. Sweet love story. Nothing special, but quite enjoyable.

This was the lamest execution of a miscommunication/right person, wrong time trope. Like, the shit that happened is inexcusable and infuriating. Just no.

Hur i helvete är denna rankad så högt?! Den här svängde så hårt och många gånger att jag har whiplash. Skulle man bry sig om någon av dessa karaktärer? För det gjorde jag inte. Oförklarliga beslut av omogna människor.

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. It’s cute and funny while being so real and heartbreaking at the same time.
