“Will,� she begged. “Please.�
“Not yet, I feel like torturing myself a little more.�
3 stars - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
After finishing Deep End by Ali Hazelwood, I wanted to continue on with reading something light, and this one definitely provided what I needed (there are a few criticisms but overall met my needs).
After mainly reading romantasy for a good while, I needed to read something that didn't break my brain reading or it being hugely overwhelming, and this short book provided everything and more.
The romance was simple but sweet, and I was perfectly okay with that. There was nothing hugely impacting their relationship, and they were able to thrive with each other, especially growing apart. Phoebe remains to be more down to earth and compassionate to the working classes where Will who used to also thrive in that element, his environment had changed him and being able to see him revert back to his ideologies was so positively wonderful to read.
The only criticism I have is the plot regarding the disappearance of Phoebe's student. I wasn't consistent. Sometimes, I had completely forgotten about it. I would've like something more to keep me more on my toes. I don't think it was executed as well as it could be.
It had the potential to be something so mysterious, but it was so poorly executed. I would've like to see more development and more mysteries to really put emphasis on the plot.
Overall, I enjoyed it, I'm a sucker for the longing trope, the main characters wanting each other from a distance, and Emily did such a good job implementing it into her book.
