Was this predictable? Yes! But did I have a good time reading it? Also yes!

I thought I was getting a light and fluffy romance but this was so much more. This truly had me questioning so many life decisions and made me rethink the way I approach relationships and how I love and appreciate others.

I literally care so little about this book. The only reason I made it this far is because I have a beautiful copy and felt obligated to finish.
