I'm giving it a 2.5 ⭐️, barely a pass. But still a pass.
Why I liked this book: I like that Dylan was very poetic, something about a man who can speak and write well. I like that Dylan reflected and wanted to change himself for the better, I like that he respected Addie. As for Addie, even though Marcus is a tier A Asshole, she wanted to try for Dylan. It's the thought that counts. And the representation of Indian culture, very beautiful to imagine the colours and the ambience.
What I didn't like about the book: This book hit me close to home, maybe I'm just personally not ready to do something about that toxic friendship that I have but I have a Marcus in my life. A manipulative, toxic friend. And what he did to Dylan is unacceptable especially under the name of "bestfriend". I felt like all the other characters were unnecessary but then maybe it was the only way to make the story flow.
I got through the book quickly and maybe it's due to my own anger and unhappiness but I think I learnt to choose your friends wisely and acknowledge the bad in them to respect yourself.

I just loved this book, loved the characters… thoroughly enjoyed! This book had so many humbling elements and loved the family & friendships highlighted within it..
The second of her books I’ve read and I was not disappointed xx
7-Great second chance Romance, my only problem is the best friend character…when you read it you will get what I’m saying.
Writing style was good but it just didn't feel like a love story to me. The actual falling in love was glossed over, and from then on it was all just about the problems. And most of the problems weren't even shown, they were just talked about how much of a problem they were. Everything was told, not shown and so I couldn't feel the emotions the characters felt. The entire relationship just felt very toxic to me. I have to admit the characters grew a lot over the span of the book but even in the end everything just felt so rushed. So many things happened in 400 pages but at the same time I feel like nothing has happened, because again we were told about everything but never really got to experience it along with the characters.
