So good! I devoured this one in mostly one sitting, because it was very cute, very fun, and made me laugh out loud multiple times. The romcom frippery is nicely balanced by the realities of having your couple (and most of the cast!) be mentally ill. Loved how they dealt with the conversation about reality dating shows, loved the silliness balanced with the seriousness, and loved watching a hopeless romantic be able to fulfill his dreams. Definitely one of my favorite romance novels and a fun romp all around!
