It was good, but way too long, considering nothing really happened in the middle-to-end section... The romance was cute, but there was a definite lack of that excitement factor that keeps you reading till 4am. 

Absolutely loved everything about this book. I felt every emotion bailey and chase felt. And i won’t spoil it but the ending had me happy crying

i STRUGGLED to get through this lmaoooo

Okay, listen. I wanted to like this. I really did.
But this felt like I accidentally walked into an American high school hallway in a Wattpad fanfic from 2012… and not the good kind.

Like—how many times can a man call someone "hot" before it loses all meaning??? (Spoiler: the MMC said it like a hundred times. I counted. Mentally.)

The plot had potential but got buried under unnecessary drama™ and weird pacing. Side characters? Cardboard cutouts with vibes. Zero depth, no backstory, just vibes.

And the emotional connection? I kept waiting for it to hit... it never did.

2 stars because I did finish it (barely), and I’m trying to be a nice little book fairy. But honestly? I need a palate cleanser, a brain cell massage, and maybe a full-body cringe detox.
