well. i cried very hard.
(i'm a pisces sun and a cancer rising, i cry at everything, but i cried HARD).
overall, i enojyed this one much more than 'kiss her once for me' which i had some issues with. it's probably a 3.5 read for me, but i am forgoing my usual rounding down and rounding up instead for joe. although, like with that one... i enjoyed everything happening AROUND the romance, more than the actual romance, again. the real draw and joy of this one for me was joe, and his relationship with rosemary and logan. of grieving, and what ppl mean to each other, and trying really hard to care.
i liked rosemary and logan's romance... fine. i connected much more with rosemary than with logan, just in terms of character/type for me personally. there is some disconnect with me and this author, possibly. she seems to try too hard to make things funny or hammer in points in a way that tends to put me off more than draw me in (in KHOFM, the CONSTANT half moon/quarter moon smile imagery made me, a moon lover, want to claw my eyes out. in this one, the 'insert famous queer person's name into a swear bit' got old and wasn't funny literally the first time it happenened and was annoying every single time after). and some of it felt a little repetative in the themes and such in ways that i wanted to just tell the author to trust herself that the point was being made, and not to make it again with a different metaphor. BUT, all of that said, i enjoyed this one more than the first, and i think there is something i enjoy and connect with, there. i just want her to stop trying so hard to be funny and let things breath a little more, and we'll be groovy.
god, joe. you broke my damn heart<3

I have very mixed feelings. I wanted DNF it so bad but then the ending happened. I expected it to be cliché and such and it was but also there were bits I liked a lot and it made me emotional (I rarely get emotional so that was a big thing) .
In overall tho I didn't connect with the characters and they felt very classbook like when it comes to their characteristics and mental health issues.
