Ugh, I usually love friends to lovers, but this book dragged!! I couldn't relate to Lu at all and found her super annoying. I'm confused as to why even Dawn and Truman are her friends? Too slow for me

Oh goodness did I like this book!! I loved Franny and Hayes. Their relationship seemed so real and genuine and the quirks were amazing. The three friends were fantastic back up characters. New York City is the best setting!!

I saw most of what was going to happen from the very first few pages, but there was one good twist at the end that I did not see coming. Makes me want to go visit the Cloisters!
