I thought it was cute, but kinda poorly executed because everything that happens feels so contrived and convenient for the sake of the plot progressing rather than feeling organic. I liked the main couple but didn’t really buy into their story unfortunately. The ending conflict with the video was stupid, and whilst them sorting the library together was sweet it was also just based on a series of unlikely occurrences happening one after the other. Better than book 2, not as good as book 1, but overall this series has been….mediocre.
