At the end of the book the phrase “that was the bravest thing I’ve ever seen” is used and somehow neither time is in reference to when someone selflessly took multiple bullets for the main character, which is truly wild.

The villainisation of Naina to promote the MCs' love story took me off-guard. It's probably the only aspect of the book that I didn't enjoy. Nevertheless, this was a really relatable and heart-warming story. Yay to second chances!
