This was a fun dabble into contemporary romance! I kinda liked that there were quite a few unexpected routes this book took with the darker themes. I do believe Emily Henry may be converting me to a romance girly

eclecticallyreading's review

emotional funny inspiring medium-paced

4.5

What happens when you end up living next door to your college rival/crush in a house your dad bought with his mistress? Apparently romance if you are January! I really loved this one, I thought January and Gus were really enjoyable characters to get to know, and I absolutely adore a grump who has also been pining for her for *AGES* :chefskiss: 
A really nice quick read, it had the perfect balance of substantive plot and emotional trauma for the characters to work through, while also being a sweet story of these two hurt people coming together and finding each other through all of the past traumas they have and becoming happier (for now) people because of their relationship.

The death of parent is not via cancer, but there is both parent with cancer and parent death in this. Also the book involves interviewing people who were associated with a suicide cult as a part of book research
