i think because it's short and so of course it would be straight to the point, but i found it quite hard to transition from one story to another and it made it hard to read.

This book made me want to be in love and experience the kind of love the characters experienced. My favourite thing abou the book was how each story was centred around the female main character. ''Less about being chosen and more about their agency in allowing themselves to love and be loved.''
