Charming and impossible to put down. I was a little unsure about this one at first. It has a slightly more pessimistic, jaded tone to it than I’m used to in Rainbow Rowell books. and I found it hard to get behind a love interest who’s a part of the U.S. Navy. Nonetheless, Rowell is a master at writing messy characters who you can’t help but root for, and by about a third of the way through I was completely hooked and very emotionally invested. I wanted the story to keep going just so I could hang out with the characters for a little longer.

Sometimes it’s hard to accept that we deserve good things even at our lowest of points. That some can see all our messy human pieces and love us despite it all. Work to accept it, so you can have all the love you deserve.
