this book was really good! i will say it took forever for them to get together lol. the flirting was cute but it def crossed some lines with her having a boyfriend, like even if they are past lovers still in love with each other they both should have more respect to not flirt like that. that was my main prblm bc i wouldn’t be sleeping in the same bed with my ex if i have a boyfriend, even if I don’t rlly like him! that just rubbed me the wrong way bc I don’t like the whole potential cheating aspect of this bc it makes it less romantic. like once she broke up with him i was for it but before it was like okayyy yall are crossing some boundaries. but yeah it was still a cute book, definitely made me tear up a few times. i appreciate her capturing pree’s anxiety & depression so well bc i rlly felt so much empathy for her & it made me sad. like girl i know how you feel! i’m glad she had someone like Daniel to help her through it & was finally able to get help. also the whole family racist aspect of the books weren’t my fav but it’s def reality so i can’t knock it & honestly idk how i’d handle those situations so good for pree for doing what she could at the time. even without race, if my bf’s parents told me i wasn’t good enough for him i’m not sure what i’d do so I can’t truly judge her. overall, book was good!
