It's been 15 mins since I finished reading this and I'm trying to figure out my feelings. I might feel differently later, but at the moment I just love this moment.
I haven't read many "Friends to lovers" books and I think mainly because I don't really like the "I love you a lot so we gotta stay friends" kinda dynamics. I mean sometimes it makes sense, but most of the time it doesn't.
In this book there were also some things that I didn't like that much. But the overall reading experience was good. I like their friendship in general, being each other's safe place & not taking anyone for granted. Loved it when they tried to include each other in their lives & trying to make time for each other. Those are the subtle moments I loved cuz I miss those moments with my friends. Tbh I wasn't a big fan of the "lovers" side of theirs. It became a little bit stereotypical when they fell in love. But there was one time when Alex's trauma started to act up & I felt like crying. Over all it's a good book & a fun read. (Except for the boring scenes after falling in love)
