2.5
I really don't know how to feel about this book if I'm honest.
In the beginning I was all here for it, I was really excited to get to know their story and this whole book that everybody loves. Have to admit that I'm feeling really disappointed.
I didn't feel the connection to the main characters AT ALL, I felt they were shallow and boring. I had to force myself not to dnf this book a million times.
The story had so much potential imo but ended up not being better than just okay.
I feel like in the "then" chapters it took them forever to get close and to finally tell each other that they're in love with each other but in the "now" chapters we barely got anything.
2.5 seems like a generous rating to me.
