Very dramatic, not at all what I expected. 
Not very spicy at all (occassional mention of nipples and mouths, and mostly fade to black). 
Less of a romcom, more of two characters on a decade long journey to each other. 
I live for the pining and the drama and yelling at them for making decisions that drive them further apart and then being frustrated at how much they love each other. 
Another confession of love over the radio 🤪 (I think that's the fourth one I've read this year). 
I personally love the drama and the journey so I wasnt actually mad at any of the decisions made, nor do I feel like the book is lesser because of it. I like the book, but it didnt make my heart flutter and my stomach flip. My stomach turned a little in December 2011 (I think), but it didnt even flip at the end and I wish it did.
