I loved this book so much. 

I loved seeing the Asian representation, especially as a mixed Asian girl myself. 

I loved all of our main characters and their relationships with one another. The relationships felt real and progressed naturally. The book evenly put the spotlight on Gracie’s relationship with Sam and with Fangli, which I felt was a great touch. One of the main problems I can have with romance books is how centered they can be on just the romantic aspect. It was great to see all of Gracie’s relationships develop, even her friendship with the side character who’s name I unfortunately cant remember right now lol.

This book would’ve gotten 5 stars if not for the conflict towards the end of the book. It felt really unnecessary, and went against all the character development Gracie had. Thankfully it wrapped up quickly, but it felt like the end rushed a little.


Even though its a pretty lighthearted book, it had some heavy topics such as mental health, SA, men being SA’d, racism, ect. It didn’t dive deep enough for it to be a depressing book, but gave them enough spotlight that you know the author takes it seriously.

I loved this book and would highly recommend. And shoutout to the audiobook narrator! She was fantastic.
