one thing i gotta give it credit for: i blazed through this book within less than a day, which means it kept me hooked enough.

there are a lot of tired romance clichés, like misunderstandings that could’ve been avoided, and lying to and pushing your lover away in order to “save them from future hurt and it’s for their own good.” that has never made sense to me at all, and i don’t know why that is such a popular trope in romance. just be honest about your feelings and communicate properly with your partners, dude.

overall, it’s enjoyable enough if a little forgettable.
