Before we were strangers

I haven’t read a romance book in a long time but I needed a vibe change if you will. This book was so sweet and heartwarming. There was times I didn’t like the main character, he was just too cheesy sometimes. But the ending was just truly beautiful

I find miscommunication tropes extremely annoying, and this had a huge one in it. I also felt that the best friend character and the professor were pushy, annoying, and not at all supportive to what the character wanted, they just wanted her to do what they wanted. I didn't want them to get it. And I also felt that the main character didn't try at all to contact him, as she literally could've just told his mother, who she apparently felt super close to, yet she never did. That would've solved the years long miscommunication. Yeek. If it wasn't for the amazing college chemistry I would've given this one up. But I did love the college years chemistry and story. The miscommunication and annoying side characters ruined this one for me.

Indeed an easy read as I manage to finish this faster than other books I’ve read thus far. This book had mixed review therefore I was specifically whether I should spend time reading it but I am glad I did. 

The characters made me swoon with excitement and ache with anger at the same time. Just like in real life, miscommunication is unavoidable and with these characters, that’s exactly what happen. But having missed 15 years of the main characters’ life makes me realise that life is too short.

But seeing characters work through hardship, missed opportunities, real like hardship but still find their way back to each other is just timeless.

I would give it 10 stars if that were possible

It was a good love story, for the most part. I can relate to that "intense, unbreakable connection" that Matt and Grace have going on, but that's just it. I honestly have no idea when I've become this mush of a cynic when it comes to romance or love stories that they all seem like MEHs to me. I still gave this 4-star rating though because it was beautifully written and the story itself is really good and I don't want my possible personal vendetta against romance novels to get in the way. Haha.

Before we were strangers a love story
