gosh.... i loved it. i thought it would be kinda unbelievable as i thought it would go down a more supernatural/spiritual path, but it didn't, & i'm actually relieved it didn't. i loved that the mc doesn't take any bs - although some of the dialogue i did find a bit.. cringe but it wasn't like intolerable! since this was published recently, the pop culture references did throw me off & some of the slang but it wasn't like... horrible. although the plot is a prettyyy predictable, i still enjoyed the hell of it. i really enjoyed that the love interests actually were good people??? like, yeah, it's the minimum for a man to own up to his actions & apologize when he's done something wrong, but idk, it was just refreshing to see & refreshing to see the girl not be desperate (well.). i was totally not expecting the nsfw at the end (like literally, the end! it was the epilogue). PERRY ON TOP. that's all i have to say <3

sometimes love is not where we expect it & that's one of the best kinds of love, methinks. my only "grievances" would be that cass's trauma is kinda... overlooked? maybe overlooked isn't the right word... maybe it's just the pacing. anyway, overall, this novel is the perfect balance of romance, goofiness, lightheartedness, reliability, & angst. hurt/comfort stays on top <3
