I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down! The character developed was really good as well as the development of the storyline. The uncovering of mysteries and new pieces of information being put together like a fun puzzle. The characters were so lovable and if this book was part of a series this would be a binge read! I’d highly recommend. Great storyline, characters and ending

Ultimately I did enjoy this book. the emotional journey had me in fits of laughter and then floods of tears. the characters are SO ADORABLE and I NEEDED to know whether they were going to end up together! It kept me clinging onto the book unable to put it down. I will say however the plot was a bit patchy at times. It was somewhat unrealistic with some of the storyline developments being realistically unattainable in the period of time the book covers. There was also somewhat a lack of relationship development between the characters with short, sharp dialogue and little regarding developing relationships over time. The unrealistic storyline in parts took away from the realism and immersive nature of the book but overall it was an enjoyable read with cute characters.
