5.0

 I have so much to say about this book, but it's hard to find the words to express how much this story made me feel. The characters felt so real, so human - I think that's the reason why I cried while reading some chapters. The writing touched me in a lot good of ways.

The romance in this story is 10000/10 and I swear I'm not exaggerating: the banter is smooth, they treat each other so tenderly and lovingly that it made me want to scream into my pillow. The angsty parts were on point too and definitely not forced. The construction of January and Gus' relationship is definitely one of the best I've seen in a while.

Truly one of my favorite books this year.
