My thoughts on Back to You

I found this book quite enjoyable! It weaved a compelling narrative of romance and personal development. Although it took some effort to immerse myself in the beginning, the well-crafted writing and engaging storyline made it worthwhile. The author excelled a bit too much at portraying the main character as pretentious and unlikeable in the first half of the book, but the presence of other intriguing characters kept me hooked. In my perspective, it leaned more towards literary fiction than a typical romance. Nonetheless, I believe it’s definitely a worthwhile read!
