I read this in a day - highly recommend the immersive reading experience as the audiobook was fantastic!

I can’t really explain why but I did not feel as connected to these characters as I wanted to, I just feel like we barely got to know Rose and I didn’t understand her decisions sometimes. 

I still really liked it, though. It was such a great mix of everything I love in a book from the laugh-out-loud humour, the hilarious side characters, the great spice, the angsty hurt/comfort, and the way the MCs yearned and pined for each other. 

Also, this has to have one of the BEST epilogues I’ve ever read lmaoo
