i'm trying to fight the shame of admitting tiktok convinced me to read this but it was surprisingly pretty good!!

talia hibbert is the only person allowed to write romance

I didn't find that the chemistry between Khai and Esme was as strong as Michael and Stella but I adore them so much as individual characters. They definitely belong together and I love that they didn't marry until Esme graduated.  I really wish I could spend more time with them in their story!

I can't speak to the autistic, sex work, and Vietnamese representation but I absolutely loved this!! Every line was written with such care and romance. The characters have so much chemistry, seeing it in this made me realise that that chemistry is missing in so many more works. An amazing read

i read this instead in one sitting of finishing my packing. it was fine but i should've finished my packing
