This book made me lol multiple times, but it gets 4 stars because the very dysfunctional relationships stressed me out.

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
