8/10
Really enjoyable, our main couple are so in sync with eachother and are generally able to intuit the others thoughts and feelings without annoying misunderstandings muddying the waters. I'm genuinely impressed with the relationship between Bina and Lake and was pleasantly surprised by their interactions.
There were some minor annoyances like the stereotypical "I don't know what this feeling is" trope. So much of my frustration would be lifted if these characters said that they aren't in love and made an excuse rather than the- "oh, this is an unexplained phenomenon O///O What is this unknown feeling in my chest? :O I feel so warm and uncomfortable inside ". Stop it. When the characters are adults or even teens it makes no sense that they wouldn't understand how love feels.
I digress, some other things could bother readers like the way that the conflicts were solved with relative ease. However, for me the draw is our main couple and they make it worth the read.
8/10.
