overall very cute! a pretty easy read and i liked the two main characters a lot and all of their friends. there were a few things that made me personally cringe but i think that’s more because i’ve seen those tropes in bad fanfiction: 1. anytime an author uses the metaphor of someone having “strong emotional walls” and specifically having one of the characters SAY it to the other and 2. any time a strong female character who is very set on not having kids changes her mind for a man. this one is extremely personal to me hating that trope so i don’t want to say it’s objectively bad or unrealistic, i just personally dislike it in media when i come across it.
Graphic: Domestic abuse and Misogyny
Minor: Pedophilia and Death of parent
TW for pedophilia/child sexual abuse: brief mentions of main character being sexually abused and molested as a child . book does NOT go into detail thankfully but keep this in mind if this is sensitive for you
