Ok. Here’s the deal. I can’t give this five stars and here’s why. The plot was good but I just don’t vibe with insta-love mainly only in this case. If they treated this relationship as a normal LDR then I would absolutely love and be able to relate to it more. I feel that because the author choose to make them have zero contact made it harder for me to understand how they could “love” each other. It seemed more like physical need/ lust then love. They only spent like a couple of day (not even full) together so they really still don’t know each other. They did not express enough even in the dialogue to know each other. The reason why I believe this is personally I experienced insta love in real life with my partner. That being said we are 6”% long distance now but at the beginning we talked for awhile before anything physical happened like months of dating and we talk everyday as much as possible so I think the issue with this book is it’s too Wattpad like and not realistic. You can’t fall in love with an image you made up. They didn’t really get to know each other on a comfort and deeper level granted they spent less than a day every year mostly talking only about Fallon. Now I rated 4 because of the LDR feeling and it was fractionally relatable not to mention I did like it and I was rooting for them but I just can’t get passed that fact. I loved the writing and the deeper lessons on seeking help with mental illness as well as the inclusion of the arts. But that one plot point I just can’t get over so I have to take it down a star.

Listen I would never forgive someone for that tbh. Like I would forgive, but I couldn’t be with them. I did like this and found it entertaining, but I did get spoiled about the twist so I wasn’t shocked. I did like the characters for the most part, sometimes they annoyed me. I did end up crying during a certain letter, which I wasn’t expecting. Just a note a character says something along the lines of think you for giving me this gift and I gagged. If someone ever said that to me I would die lol. This review is honestly horrible I’m sorry.
