I really liked this book. I finished it in 5 hours. The romance was a little too slow-paced for me but was still good. Made me giggle a lot at the insults they come up with and witty comments!

I liked this book very much, however I think the romance was a little too slow, slow-burn for me. Was good all the same! Used a lot of technicalities and technical words, which was a little out my brain capacity 🙊😅 Was such a good book! I really connected with Bel as I believed their situation as all the rest of them as very relatable to me.
