3.5
It's giving 3.5. Firstly, thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC.
I feel mixed ways about this book - i feel like the things I liked about this book were the same things I did not like about the book. Firstly, I adored the story starting with a viral TikTok (I never saw the original, but so cute!). I love that kinda stuff, but I also felt like it was a little unrealistic at times. I mean, I guess love at first sight/instant attraction from a meetcute is also unrealistic.
I loved and hated the drama in the story. Like Nissi and Kannon's like side quests were annoying but also interesting. I feel like Nissi could've given Kannon a bit more grace at the end, but I digress. The story was like a slow burn, but also like they kinda hated each other. I also think the author could've been a little clearer about what was inner thoughts vs. story elements vs. like what they say outloud. I dont know how to describe it, but it was a little confusing to read.
I feel like Nissi's and Kannon's love and chemistry and connection was SOOOO GOOD and well written, that it made the other parts kinda annoying and less enjoyable by default (which I think was the point).
Overall, i ate this book up, but like also had some qualms with it and also hated Nissi and Kannon at various points.
