It’s a lovely, diverse story of friendship, family and self love, and if you love a slow burn, you’ll enjoy this. However. The constant repetition in the writing of this book had me rolling my eyes. I honestly think they could have taken a quarter out and it would have been exactly the same. Also I feel like the end was rushed and we didn’t get a proper conclusion to everything. What happened with the letters? And what was the reason for the short contract in the first place? Also, this book talked about body image in such a weird way, I felt myself getting self conscious just reading this. It seemed like it was trying to be body positive, but missed the mark.

I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm not a big romance reader.
I liked Ivan and Jasmine's dynamic and I thought a lot of their relationship was cute. Also, the figure skating pair Scott-and-Tessa energy was fun. But I didn't like how many comments there were abt Jasmine's weight and I hated that his nickname for her was "Meatball" WTF. Also, the writing was not good and practically every third word was a curse word, which seemed unnecessary. There were a bunch of things that got brought up once and then were never/rarely mentioned after, it seemed like they were forgotten about and it made the plot hard to follow.

There was this sex scene that I literally started laughing in the middle of because of how weird the descriptions were of his dick. It was an odd time.

Anyways, idk why I trusted romance booktok, it's a scary place. I think I'll steer clear of plain old romance for a while.

Jasmine was whiny, but what can I say, I found her relatable.
And Mariana- I think you can use proper nouns instead of describing them with a handful of adjectives, what they have done in the past and how many times you have encountered them. Other than that, it was a cute book.
