I loved it. It was amazing! The writing was amazing and it was a good type of cliche, not one where you’re visibly cringing in your seat. The relationship between the two main characters was cute and fun and made you want something they have even though it’s too good to be true. The main reasons I gave it 4.5 instead of 5 stars was because it lacked diversity within characters, and also because the synopsis and cover led me to think it would be a cheesy fun romance. Although it was that and I loved those parts, there were some things that could be triggering and those were talked about really all throughout the book. I don’t mind books like that, I like them actually, but I wish it was a little easier for the reader to realize the book isn’t as fluffy as it is made out to be before they read it.
