This book is extraordinary. So offen when reading romance books I say in my review that they are "good but nothing special." That usually means most people will find some way to enjoy it in my opinion.
With this book however I don't think it's for everyone. It definitely is NOT a cute quick romance book.
This felt more like a contemporary book about two people who happen to be in love with each other.
That being said I absolutely love this book. I enjoyed every minute of the audiobook and I definitely want to reread it and buy a physical copy!
This book makes me wonder why I ever thought enemies-to-lovers is the best type of romance. I still love it but mostly in fantasy settings.
Bestfriends-to-lovers however - wow! I absolutely loved Poppy and Alex's dynamic. The way they could truly be themselves around each other and how they adored each other is just something so special.
What I also loved about this book is how real and human it felt. There are still a few romancy tropes but all in all the stories and the feelings are something I could relate to so much.
I feel like this just made it's way into my favourite books of all times list.
