Still don’t understand why Gus and January were so obsessed with each other other than being hot, and their lack of communication just made me mad during the middle 3rd of the book. Overall good though, just not a very likeable protag

I’m not really sure how to rate this book, there were many aspects I loved but also some parts I got annoyed with.

Pros:
- cute romance in general
- trauma explained well
- character development

Cons:
- sry I hate Gus as a nickname idk why
- I don’t think they really understood what a literary fiction or romance book is. It seemed to me that they thought lit-fic was just messed up characters and messed up bad endings. Romance was written as happy rom-coms with happy endings and the world is perfect. They also acted like the 2 genres could never overlap, like they were polar opposites. As a reader who loves both, this just kinda annoyed me. Lit-fic is more than just messed up characters and romance is more than funny rom-coms. Both genres can also easily overlap, they’re not all that different.


Yeah overall I liked their banter and it was a cute summer read but for me, it had one big issue, preventing me from giving it a 5 star.
