It's kind of amazing how the author gives the book a story and a plot while also turning it into some kind of self help book... At least thats how it felt to me.
I don't suffer from toxic positivity, so I would never read a self help book solely based on it, but reading this one felt helpful all the same while being entretaining.
It was cute, it was romantic and you see the characters gow into themselves as the book progresses. Only thing I disliked overall is how fast everything was at the end, like Chu didn't actually knew how to close the story and just rushed trough.
