what??? it was ok at the beginning and then at the end is was downright rushed and so bad I found myself questioning if the writing had been that bad the whole book or if it just became that bad at like the 60% mark. this book was advertised as a slowburn on tiktok (I know tiktok is super deceiving) but a slowburn it is NOT let me tell you that. literally everything in the book happens within 3 weeks like????? the ex was unbearable and downright cringey as were some of the things that left the characters mouths (mostly towards the end). I just can’t do I love you’s after 2 weeks specially when I feel no connection between the characters. I literally felt nothing for them and couldn’t care less about them. and even though I should have dnf’d it I did finish it and I’ve read worse so I guess 2 stars for that.
