I think I was expecting some thing much more than what I got from this book. I don’t know maybe because a lot of people I know have hyped this book up for me that I thought that it was going to be …better.
To me, they just felt a little generic and also tough to read at times because of how weird their dynamic was in the relationship.
Maybe I said to high expectations, but it wasn’t a bad read. I just thought it was average.

I don’t know how to explain how I’m feeling without spoiling the plot so all I can really just say is I am so happy that I read this book and I wish more people would read it!
And if that doesn’t make you want to read this book, let me tell you I just bought three physical copies, two special additions, and one regular edition, and not saying some thing!

Although I was sold on this being a different trope or sub trope, that I am in love with. It was a good story within a bigger story.

So much better than I expected. I had been holding off on reading this, because the synopsis sounded very so-so.
I am so happy that I wrote. This is also makes me want to get a physical copy of it.
And I kinda wish it was longer so I can get more of both of them together and happy.

Although I didn’t understand the harboring of her dislike of him for over a decade because of the situation.
This was angst in a sense of the betrayal I have a best friend you love romantically.
And though I enjoyed it, I wish there was a little bit more angst!

You can’t tell me that that ending is as cookie cutter as it was with everything that happened.
I was with everything until the ending!! That’s why I gave us a two because that ending was so unbelievable! And I mean like I’m not trying to say that I need to be realistic, but this was just like worse than a movie ending.

I can honestly say that this wasn’t as anxiety as I had thought it would be.
The cheating wasn’t really as gut wrenching as I would have hoped it would be. I just think that if he had told her his past relationship, nothing would’ve been as large as it was.
