Okay, let's get this straight: I really expected to love this book, because it sounded like the cute fluffy romance I needed right now. It judt wasn't it.
I couldn't connect to any of the characters at all, none of the revelations was in the slightest surprising, the romance was way too flat. And Will just acted like a douche way more than he had to.
Also, the total lack of trigger warnings really pissed me off. Cancer and death of a loved one were central themes in the book and no one ever mentioned it anywhere in the synopsis, which for me is a real no-go.
