This book is purely for the vibes. Those were great, but I did have some issues with the story as a whole. The climax ended up being anticlimactic, I guessed the ending halfway through, and the romance, while adorable, did not feel properly established. However, the line level writing was gorgeous, I appreciated Effy’s character growth, and I absolutely loved Preston.
