This was way more adorable than I thought it was going to be.
I absolutely fell in love with Maribel and her inner monologues and day dreaming. Girl only knows how to dream but it makes sense considering her current situation at the start of the book and where she's been.
ok the MMC, Wesley, is adorable. Shy thanks to his social anxiety but he's adorbs once you get to know him. I was rooting for him halfway through the book, once I got passed his taciturn ways. He is a shy sweetheart under that anxiety.
I love that this was a slow burn because it highlighted both Maribel and Wesley's anxiety's, their dreams, wants, and they were able to communicate them and to each other which added to the overall cuteness of this book for me. Because it's not something I get a lot of lately in romance reads and I miss it
Plus the dialogue was really good between them, even the arguments, were not just valid but helped push the storyline and had them opening up and figuring out a lot together.
