It's okay. Not an easy fun read! I almost didn't finish this book tbh. The pace was too slow for me.
The dialogue was hard to get through for me. I do appreciate the not so perfect relationship dynamics and mental health representation, but the MC was a bit whiney and insufferable at times. Didn't love the "half moon smile" and Swiftie references every other chapter. Overall okay. Wouldn't read again.

The over mentioning of Taylor Swift songs/lyrics and half moon smile gave me the ick.
