Bloom was easy and fast to read and definitely had some cute, emotional moments I enjoyed but in total there were just too many characters and relationships that I disliked (toxic dynamics). I also felt like many changes in the relationships between the characters or to their personality just happened without any real development on page. I would have loved to see them go through the processes that led to their changes of mind. Some strings of the story also felt a bit forgotten/unfinished.
