Quite enjoyed this one although a few times it ventured into “just use your words!!!” territory a bit. But it did so with legitimate reasons that were later clarified so it worked in the story. The author does a great job of weaving the story of a loved one in kidney failure in with a sweet romance mixed with past relationship trauma. None of it feels out of place or forced or takes away from the story. 

Both narrators did a good job but I especially liked the way Jacob’s narrator almost personified his anxiety in the way he read the chapters. Definitely added something to the story.

For me this was a story that started off strongly but in the third half went completely off the rails. It felt like Abby forgot it was a romantic comedy, and the last third of the book suffers greatly for it. I completely hated a character I started off liking and ruined any affection I had for her.

I am well aware that trauma changes the brain. I’m a person who has faced their own trauma in life -but everything Brianna did in the last third is completely inexcusable. She was beyond cruel and quite frankly how Jacob handled the way she treated him has me worried for his wellbeing.

I’m so disappointed that this book ruined everything it had built and destroyed its own story. A single book should not manage to jump the shark like this.
