I don't know if this deserves the tiktok hype, but it's not entirely terrible. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it's enjoyable for most romance audiences.
That said, I don't like the "we shouldn't be together because you're my best friends' [little] sibling" trope. It's one of the most insufferable tropes to me, so that is part of why my rating is so low. Also, Alex and Ada both were... yeah. Not my favorite pairing.
The rest is fine. The writing style is fine, and most of the characters are likable, aside from Alex and his plot amor + too OP, and I'm glad the book didn't run on for over 500+ pages as romance books shouldn't be any longer than 350 MAX. I have higher hopes for the rest since they all contain different tropes. Maybe I will find one I like most.
