I was really looking forward to reading a book with ace/aro representation, but i found Rumi to be a bit unlikeable and hard to connect with. Her reactions and behaviors made it hard to want to continue reading the book. I feel there are better ways to have written a character stricken with grief. The romance/friendship between the two characters felt a bit contrived as well. 
The book had a lot of potential, but I don’t think was written well or that the characters were well developed. Overall, it felt a bit shallow.
