4.5, as with most romcom, the couple could have avoided so much with just better communication. Then the book would have ended in the prologue lol. Wh4.5, as with most romcom, the couple could have avoided so much with just better communication. Then the book would have ended in the prologue lol. What I liked most was this was more of a story about friendships, relationships, and family. How keeping your feelings to yourself does a disservice to everyone around you.
