    I highly recommend this book if you really enjoy stories with age gaps. The part where the female lead has a crush on the male lead really resonated with me. I especially like stories with a slightly sour or sweet feel, and it gets really sweet later on! 🥰 The descriptions of the male lead's changing feelings for the female lead are very delicate; you can really see how deep his feelings were for her at the time. I highly recommend it to everyone; it's a great book and definitely worth reading! 👍👍
