Absolutely loved this book. The first time I came across it was on Chapters: Interactive Stories, so it didn’t really count as a “read” back then. But now, having read the actual novel, I can say it’s even more beautiful and moving. The first time, I read it right after a breakup with someone who never really put in the effort for me, so I was bawling my eyes out the whole way through. Now, reading it with a clearer mind, I can safely say that this is the single most beautiful novel out of 100+ other I've read. It’s the kind of story that makes you believe in true love and the value of genuine effort. I first read it from Chapter's: Interactive stories, so it didn't really count as a 'read' when I did it. But now that I've read the actual thing The only drawback? This book might have set my expectations for men unrealistically high 😅 But seriously, it's such a captivating read, and I couldn’t put it down. I even finished it in under 28 hours. I'm completely obsessed and heartbroken that it's over. The book is painfully underrated. How come that I, a huge reader, have never heard of it before? This should be popular enough to be on booktok. It's literally my favourite book now.
