I feel really conflicted about this book.
On one hand, it completely moved me. I laughed, I cried and I genuinely felt for the characters. The story was engaging and I was invested right to the end.
On the other hand, I found many elements of the story to be unrealistic. The characters didn't feel like relatable people so much as caricatures, the romance chemistry felt a little out of nowhere and the ending of the book was really chaotic and rushed in its goal of tying up loose ends. You really have to suspend your disbelief for this read.
