don't get me wrong — technically this book deserves at least 4 stars. I really appreciate how diverse the characters are, that stereotypes are being broken and I ADORE the portrayal of their family. 
It's very sweet and makes you rethink the concept of love a little. 

but — it could have been shorter. Everything was good until like the last 3/4 or something, when it started to drag a little. I genuinely think the sex scenes were the most boring parts ever. I skipped most of them (and I'm usually not bothered by that). 

and sadly, if something at the end of a book bothers me, it kinda ruins the experience?

Tbh I felt super indifferent about this! Maybe I am romcom-ed out at the moment.
