This book really came into my life when I needed it most. I thought I had run out of the classic rom-coms with the super cute covers but I was sucked into yet another one, and I have no regrets.
Firstly, I loved both main characters in this book, especially Max. He didn't make any of the typical mistake male leads make in these kind of stories, he was honest with Lina and how he felt about her, was able to open up to her and speak about his insecurities without her pushing him to, he was clear with what he wanted and went after it when needed and I found his charm and persistent sense of humour incredibly enjoyable. I loved the chapter were he told Lina's family about the kind of man she deserved and them eventually turned himself into him. Lina was also wonderful to read about, her slightly controlling nature was relatable to me and the importance she placed on her family and the recognition she has for the sacrifices they made for her was great to see. Often parents are the source of the main character's insecurities or past traumas but this book conveyed their importance, especially of the women in both of their lives and how they impacted them.
