To be honest, I'm not really sure what to rate this book. While I enjoyed it quite a bit for some of the characters, there were a couple parts that bugged me. I'm generally not a huge fan of friende-to-lovers - I do think this was done a lot better than most I have read. I loved the character of Alex but I did struggle a bit with Poppy sometimes. And there were some scenes that were infuriating 😅 and some lines were just so strange! 
I did enjoy the snippets of stories about the trips that Alex and Poppy had taken - honestly I would have preferred more of that! I remember watching some booktubes where they said the title of this book doesn't truly reflect what it's about and I kind of agree. I will admit that I adored the fact that one of the trips was in Victoria because I love it there!

Anyways, it was a good read! I think it just didn't totally work for me personally but I did enjoy it mostly!
