why would you write something this sad, when I thought it was going to be a rom-com? ughhh, currently heartbroken. I loved every page of this book, especially the ending tbh. it is so important to never forget that it's the journey that matters, not the ending. also, I fell in love with X. one of my favorite male characters now <3

This was a good book and I hated it. The endings matter.

Such a cute, quick, and easy read. I loved the characters and the premise of the book. Didn’t know I needed this sweet romance in my life, but I so did!! Brb while I go sign up for some dance lessons!

*2.75*

This was much, much
My lower rating is mostly due to the fact that I wanted, expected, and needed something fairly lighthearted, something to take my mind off of the harsh realities of life, not be a severe reminder of how depressing things can be.

I do appreciate the message that love is worth it, even if it doesn't have the happy ending you want. It's just not what I need to hear right now, and crying about the ending was not what I needed to feel either.

So what I'm saying is that this is a good, well written book, and if you're someone who can appreciate bittersweetness, especially in a romantic setting, and you're aware and prepared for that kind of story, then this is 100% worth reading.
