[Her Inked Dreams · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an emotional story of longing, love, and missed chances. The characters don’t make major mistakes, but they repeatedly fall short as partners because of misunderstandings and unspoken emotions. Watching them carry that emotional weight is heartbreaking and by the end, I truly felt they deserved a better ending after everything they had been through!! Especially dev!!!

I was literally waiting for this one. The moment I got to know the second part is here, I pre ordered it. I read it in single seating.

I don't have any words to express how this book makes you feel. It's the best.
