Absolutely charming. I loved the perfect combination between slow-burn romance, slice of life charm, and more serious situations.
Could’ve done without making Leon’s girlfriend this cartoon Jealous Girlfriend.
I like the idea of different writing styles between the two POV characters… and it would’ve worked for me here if the dialogue tags had stayed consistent between both. This way (Tiffy’s chapters using quotation marks while Leon’s chapters used- Character name: says things) was just really confusing in a way that went beyond giving characters two distinct narration styles.
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Gaslighting
