Overall, all the plot points were answered by the end. It was slow paced and dragged out at times and I wish two of the main plot points were resolved a bit earlier rather than it being resolved in the last chapter. 

I also wish they did more activities ie. go on dates and do other stuff rather than just going to weddings and having sex. 

Also, everything was resolved too quickly and it was unrealistic how everyone was accepting of the MFC biggest issues and secrets as soon as they found out about it. 

The MMC barely had any character development except when it’s necessary to the plot.

Suffers a little from second book syndrome, but still entertaining. Did focus a little too heavily on Khai's dick for me, but to each their own. Enjoyed this this portrayal of autism (as in the kiss quotient) and Vietnamese culture!

I really enjoyed the fact that the main characters had longer to interact with and get to know each other than in other romance works.
