Cute but god, the author read and watched way too many romcom.
It's cheesy and skipped important scenes. The smut is cringey and the whole plot was read like a porn mixed with a bad fanfiction.
I can clearly tell it's her first book.
Plus, for the love of god, stop trying to make pun and jokes that are used by 15 y.o. when the characters are almost 30.
I physically cringed and had to skip some dialogues or description bc I was dying.

Anyway, I understand the main point was the fluff but maybe the author should add some actual plot and substance to the story.

The relationship was way too fast, skipped a lot of steps and was all so rushed it was almost comical.
It felt like a self-interest.
