  • I really liked it and the found family aspect of it. I liked the boarding school aspect of it too. 
  • Noah was so cute. I thought it'd be a dark high school romance where the guy us cocky and he doesn't respect the FMC. But, he actually respects her. He's grumpy by there's more to it - there's depth to his character. 
  • I recall the scene where he walked into her room while she was and he freaked out. It was so cute. Their banter was so cute and the way he kept teasing her (e.g. "Crash") I liked how clumsy she was too. 
  • I also loved Isobel. She's strong and not afraid to be vulnerable. She's perfect. I felt so happy when Noah and Isobel were together. 
  • The ending was iffy. Matthew (Isobel's bio dad) switched up near the end and I was shocked bc it seemed like he was actually trying to rekindle their relationship? Same with the mum bc why wasn't she happy when Isobel visited?

um no. the writing was rlly tedious - felt like i was reading smth 13 yr old me had written. the characters themselves were alright. but felt like the story was really hurried. the ending was so rushed i was like whaat... and not in a good way. it was sweet and the plot if written well would have been good but uh it wasnt.
