Review:
I picked this book without reading the blurb, I wanted to have a blind date with this book. I kinda guessed what the story will be like when I first read the title. To be honest, I imagined it to be in some sort of fantasy. But to my surprise, this was a completely heartwarming, almost realistic book.
I used the word almost because I don’t totally believe the events in this plot could happen in the real-world scenario. Nevertheless, I loved the plot and the characters.
This is mostly a character-driven book than a plot-driven. As you read, you can totally guess the plot but the character development was very beautiful and wholesome.
This is one such book that is heartwarming, endearing, and sweet that makes you feel good after a long hard day. I took my time to read this book because it was very cute and sweet that I don’t want it to end.
Read this book if you are in the mood to read something sweet, wholesome, cute book with lovely characters.
