“i hope you remember to miss me when all this is over”

Ann Liangs writing is so captivating. the vivid descriptions immerses you into the story in such an engaging way!! new favorite author
- i was so happy to find the tiny reference to ‘if you could see the sun’
- the ending was a bit rushed

It was ok. Some of the raising the stakes events came a bit out of nowhere so I found it a bit hard to suspend my disbelief. I feel like there were missed opportunities to make it a more natural progression from fake dating to the real thing.

i had a great time so kinda 4 stars but not the same 4 stars as I Hope This Doesn’t Find You. this was not great in the chemistry and overall romance department, but i loved the character development and realness.
