first of all; i’m sold even from the trope. the storyline is lovely. i enjoyed how the story progressed and i was satisfied with it.

i found it touching at times, as well as entertaining and thrilling.

BUT, i still think that the writing is a bit off. something there doesn’t add up. firstly the language (the shit, dude, love you remains strong), the internal monologues are too fairytale-y and in a few scenes, it’s going well and then boom, ends weird, which was disappointing.

so my overall thoughts are that i quite liked the story and the characters and their chemistry and the events that took place, but i don’t really like the writing to rate it higher.
