Such a Unique Concept—I Couldn’t Put It Down
I loved how original this story was. I often get tired of the same old romance tropes, but this one felt refreshingly different. The idea of receiving a note that tells you exactly how long your relationship will last? Fascinating. At the beginning, I thought, “Absolutely—I’d want to know.” But by the end, I wasn’t so sure anymore.
I went into it with a clear idea of how I wanted the story to end, and it didn’t go that way—but surprisingly, I wasn’t disappointed. The characters and emotional tension had me torn the entire time, and at one point, it completely broke my heart. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking read that I’d definitely recommend.
