I loved this book but holy shit, was this book sad. I was not expecting this book to be so incredibly sad and heavy and depressing, especially because the first two books in the series are pretty light-hearted and steamy and fun.🤍
So just a warning before you read it: this book is a lot, and it will probably make you cry a lot, and I wish I had known that going in because was just wanting something light and fun and this book hurt to read.
I loved the romance between Anna and Quan, it was beautiful and it felt so real.
However, I don't think the romance is the main aspect of the story, this is very much a coming of age story for Anna, it's about her finding her voice, learning things about herself, and dealing with real tragedy.
I was already bawling my eyes out at the end and then I read the authors note and I cried even more.
Make sure you are emotionally ready to read this book. A large portion involves Anna having to take care of an ill family member and the emotional toll that has on her life.
The beginning starts off as a normal romance novel with a swoooonnyyyy romance hero.
I love Quan's character so much and am so obsessed with him. Quan is so patient and good to Anna and I abosItuey loved them together. Then, things take a turn when Anna has to take care of her family member.
Anna has to deal with her extremely judgmental and horrible older sister and is constantly berated and put down just for being her.
Anna is also dealing with understanding her own identity and possibly being on the autism spectrum and carrying that label.
