WHAT A WAY TO START A YEAR. 
This book is often compared to Emily’s Henry books and I would disagree. Both are written beautifully, don’t get me wrong. They are in two different camps.

The prose is absolutely astonishing. I was coloring while listening to this novel and I kept picking up my head to drink up all the words. It’s a very melancholy, so be prepared. 

Also, please check triggers before going in. Can’t wait for this adorable writing COUPLE’s next book!

I liked this book, but I wasn't surprised by anything that happened. I wish there had been an unexpected twist. The last fifty pages or so didn't do it for me.

I liked the first three quarters and enjoyed the structure of dual narration + past and present. 

I found the insights into the writing process/publishing world to be interesting.

Chris was a perfectly crafted villian.

This is well-written, angsty adult romance, so if that's your thing, you can safely add another full star to my 3.5 and consider yourself in for a treat.
