Likes:

• I love when a book talks about grief cuz it’s always in a different way and just cuz it’s important to talk about 
• Ok so far I love every single main character 
• I loved the eclipse metaphor that his aunt made I definitely would’ve underlined or highlighted that if I annotated my books
• All of the food descriptions
• Short chapters
• I love a good kiss scene 
• I’m finding that I absolutely love books centered around food 

Dislikes: 

• I wish it was just a little bit longer like maybe 10-20 pages.

Random thoughts: 

• While the questioning of any of it is real part is annoying, fake dating is definitely still and always has been my favorite trope 
• Fast pace probably cuz of how short it is
• Gift giving is definitely Theo’s love language 
• So since Theo is like super rich, does that mean that this is a billionaire romance but a YA version? 
• WARNING: this book has not only 1 third act break up BUT 2!!!! 
• Definitely a slow-burn
