   First off, if you prefer stories with clean-cut, virgin characters, I suggest you skip this! This book leans more towards realism, a slow-burn contemporary romance novel, but it doesn't focus solely on love. The workplace storyline is solid, the daily life scenes are realistic, and the emotional storylines are delicate! It feels like a real life you could actually live in. There are many memorable quotes, each one hitting home, making it best read slowly and attentively! The descriptions of scenes and emotions in the book will resonate with you; you'll feel like you can see yourself reflected in them! You won't regret reading it!
