This is cute, I guess, but I really don’t love the books where they fall head over heels in a singular day. It just feels very unrealistic and slightly disconcerting how quickly they fall in love. I know it’s the whole juxtaposition of a girl who doesn’t think she can love, falling in love, but still it’s just like ..what? 
It’s also just so unbelievable that it’s not even enjoyable. It just feels like it’s trying so hard to be connected in the plot that it’s trying too hard and it is just not enjoyable. It’s just doing too much and not enough at the same time
