this book was oh so cute. the mmc had major golden retriever energy. i think this is a decent non steamy read. some parts were repetitive and annoying to keep reading. the feminism part of the book is good for younger readers as an intro, but for myself it was a little too basic. it was also so repetitive it almost felt like being lectured and not so much about feeling relatable. the fmc was hard to get behind. she was whiney in parts and made you not want to sympathize with her. she pushed away the people trying to help her, and the people who were supportive and understanding. all of the conflict in this book was her own doing. she made problems in her head and then jumped to conclusions. the miscommunication in this one was especially annoying because you could see how hard one of the mcs was trying and how the other was just not. the writing was nice though. the dialogue was natural between characters and the mcs had good chemistry. overall pretty cute.
