For me, this novella was just okay. I’m sorry but the word rainbow has no business being used seven times in a novella 💀 and a laugh being described as a “milky pastel rainbow” is too much for me. And somehow, there were parts of this story that felt like it dragged, even though it was a quick read? I loved the meet-cute of the two in the story but not so much the delivery.
