Edit: I come back to this book a lot but I'm never able to review it objectively. Because there're so many grey areas in this book that I just can't clearly set aside what's right and what's wrong, and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. This book just makes me rethink all the life decisions - theirs, not mine. The latter would take eternity lmao.

3-3.5 stars

First: The book has way more depth than the lake on its cover.

Second: I could've loved this way more but the morally questionable deeds of certain secondary characters were too much of a worry for me to enjoy the romance happening between these two.

PS: And it's most definitely not a rom-com.

I knew from reviews this was going to be deep and a little different than typical rom-coms but really, that cover is injustice to this book! Why didn't they show some dark clouds rolling to prepare us for the angst?😂
