I guess it didn’t live up to the hype for me. I liked it, but for me it was a bit slow and it took me some time to get into the story.

“Enemies-to-lovers—it’s our trope, Buxbaum.”

Todo estuvo muy cute y el final fue muy bonito. 🥹

Pero, no sé, siento que ya estoy en el límite de seguir leyendo romances juveniles cuando ya me siento ruca, en fin.
Hubo parte que Liz me estresaba poquito 🙃🫠 pero, entendí su necesidad de querer tener algo como en la romcoms, chica, yo también quisiese algo así y me pone sad leer cosas tan cutes como este libro que sé que nunca tendré, ah.

wes carried this whole this whole book and i don’t think there’s a more insufferable character than liz. i get that there’s a growth arc but it was hard when i just wasn’t rooting for her! justice for Alex!

4.5*??

idk for sure because I started this in a slump and I always like those books less...

I did really like this though! I wanted a bit more of Lizwes, but the moments we did get were really cute.
I also think the subplots were well developed and really contributed to the story and character development of Liz.
