3.75
I started this at 9pm and finished at like 5am. I couldn't stop reading it.
3.75⭐ I liked it but not as much as the first 2 books and that's saying something because I don't remember much.
This is supposed to be a romance but the romance aspect of the story is in the back burner. The Heart Principle is about Anna; her acceptance and discovery of who she is after getting a diagnosis that makes her understand herself. The writing is entertaining and pretty, it's easy to read and the main characters, Anna & Quan, are adorable but this is heartbreaking. I cried. And after reading the Author's Note at the end, I cried some more. So... look up the *Trigger Warnings*. It is highly important that you do.
