This is the first book I've read for the new year, and as someone coming out of a long reading slump, I found it easy to understand and engage with. It also helps that I watched the tv show based on this book to prepare for this book's adaptation, so it was a lot easier to picture most of the characters in the book. 

Now for the book itself, I found it fast-paced, enjoyable, and addicting enough that I'm ready to move onto the next one. Is it predictable and cliche in terms of tropes? Yes. But sometimes cliche is what we need to get ourselves through the day and through rough slumps. After all, who doesn't love a good friends to lovers story (or in this case, my best friend's brother to lover)?
