"She felt like the sun. Like she was the reason for everything. like I'd always been waiting for her to get closer and bring me to life.”

this book was SO cute!! i loved all the characters and their journey not only together as a couple but individually too. i loved alexis she's such a badass and the way she stood up to her family and actually advocated for herself rather than just following their expectations was so satisfying. i also liked how daniel learned not to sell himself short. their romance was so adorable, daniel is honestly the most perfect man EVER. like hello he cooks and builds things AND he reads; honestly what more could you want??? something else i loved about this book was that it felt realistic while still being a bit cliché and enjoyable to read like your classic romance novel. the characters were always honest with each other and they were good at communicating, and the reason they were hesitant to actually be together is valid and an actual problem a lot of people probably face (parental disapproval, difference of lifestyle, money, etc). it was all handled very well! literally the only complaint i have is that there was no smut LMAO, but it's okay. 

aside from the romance, i love the underlying message of the book which is to say that no matter how different two people are, if they love each other enough, they can make it work. yes it's all very "love conquers all" and yes it may be cheesy but then again i'm a rat. i loved it <3
