I saw a review of someone complaining about this title not being a "love story," but I think it is. It's a story about love and the different types of love you'll find in your life, specially when you're growing up and learning about yourself. That being said, it IS a slow burn, and before getting some romantic development, we get two amazing volumes with so much character development and amazing characters that give more depth and realism to the story. It's a story about learning to love yourself, how loving yourself allows you to love other people and how the relationships with them also shape you and your relationship with yourself. The friendships and characters are very wholesome.I might be biased because I love this title and joining the characters in their journey has been rewarding. So if you can afford it, and you like slow burns with lots of plot and character development, I can't recommend it enough!
