This book was so sweet, but also so sad. I almost cried during some scene. I loved the slow burn romance and the found family was so cute. The plot twist was quite heartbreaking, both of them. They weren't shocking, but still worked, because of their impact. The characters were well developed, but I would have loved to see an outburst from MC, but it made sense from her personality. I kinda wanted the ending to change, especially a different solution to the problem of the MC. But it was really good and better than I expected, because I got it on a whim.
