This book was an okay romance. I mean there were important themes of starting fresh, forgiving yourself, friendship, honesty, and mental health. But I really struggled to get into it. There wasn’t any comic relief and the romance wasn’t spine tingling or even that cute and mushy. So I guess this book just didn’t appeal to me personally.

I say this with allll respect to tropes, but this book is much more than it’s trope and the ways in which it is more are very very good. It’s funny and sad, an escape and real, light and deep, a sexy romance and a pair of personal journeys. It’s a lot of things and it does all of them well and it was truly enjoyable to read. I’d read it again and I’d try anything by Linda Holmes having read this.
