It feels weird giving a 5-star rating here, but I can't find anything to dislike other than the fact that it's not really my generally preferred genre. But I was on a quest to find a romcom I didn't hate and this one came through! The characters were so deeply believable, that I didn't even mind the (almost) miscommunication trope, which is one of my least favorite. It worked because it made sense for them to communicate (or not) in that way. And their developmental arcs were so satisfying as to be almost unbelievable but, again, not, because I so completely bought into these characters and their relationship. Also, great setting. It was clear that the author has been on the trail and that added a lot of richness to the storytelling.

I like it, just not quite as much as the first one. Was not expecting the religious trauma element, but I liked how it shook out.
