Story And Writing Style
This book is a cute story showing friendships, love, and break-ups. What I didn’t like about this story is that there are many parts of the story which are very much predictable. So many clichéd moments in the story didn’t strike a chord with me. There could be a little less drama towards the ending of the book.
My ratings: 3/5
