Read for:
♡ Idiots in Love
♡ Crime Family
♡ Only One Bed
♡ Forbidden Romance
♡ Angst with a Happy Ending


I enjoyed this book.  It was a simple and cute story with forbidden romance vibes.  The main characters were cute together.

However, it did kinda feel like it was missing something.  There was little backstories and I think parts just kinda felt bland; not to mention the dialogue felt a bit forced at times.

It's a good book to binge read.  The angst is light and there were way more wholesome vibes than I was expecting.  And so many music and movie mentions, which I always appreciate.
