if “that’s the way i loved you” was a song. it’s a super romantic read if you forget about the toxic, awful, unhealthy stuff they do in the name of “love”. they have the same fight 20000 times and they never change they never try to be better. i didn’t root for the mmc once, but maybe you will.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
i find the main character unbearable. like she’s refuses to even entertain the thought that the love interest could be flirting with her, but also starts calling the apartment “our home” after one night?! just too much of the “i’m awkward and i don’t know i’m pretty and that’s what makes me pretty”
