Thoughts

This was a good book, very moving and emotional in places. I do think the pacing of it was a bit weird, sometimes it felt like time was just dragging, other times everything seemed to be happening at once. It was kind of predictable but not in a bad way - the characters were acting exactly as you’d expect them to which ultimately made for an interesting romantic drama.

Rating: 3 / 5
