5.0

I love it. I can't believe I had a thought of DNF-ing it because of that long full of description first chapter.

It's a thick book but I think all of the things in it is necessary. If anything I want it to be longer because I ended up really loving the romance and there wasn't much of it! I want more of the romance!

I love that this book is slow and taking its time. This book also made me angry and frustrated and anxious especially because of some secondhand embarrassments that made me had to put it down for a while because I CAN'T. I am also feel like being so called out by this book because the main character's personality has a lot of similarities with me ughh although I also screamed at her for a lot of stuff that she did, but I knew it would pay off because we already "see the future" when the book started, so this book was like the main character telling us the story of her past, so it comforted me. So yeah. I love it and now I'm gonna look for some fanfiction of it on the internet because I do really need more of this romance.
