1.0

The synopsis had me fooled. I expected a fun romcom with the characters getting into silly situations and spontaneous hijinx. But I didn't find anything romantic or comedic about it. The characters weren't likable. There were constant timeline changes between past/present/memories, which made it confusing and hard to follow at times. I skimmed a large chunk of it because I just didn't care about the story, but I wanted to find out what happened between the main characters during the past AND present. The ending was cliche and boring. This book was a big miss for me, unfortunately.
