The characters are loveable but there was to much backstory.
I felt this book could have been much short. This book reminded me of some of the characters from grey’s anatomy

Great story with some necessary and some unnecessary depth. We are treated to vague stories from a Geologist? Psychological dissertations and introspection?
Overall- I just loved Sebastian. I love that he was a emo-goth as a teen. How he just wanted her to "pick me". His love for competitive cheerleading and complaining. How he jazz hands when he talks of "leaves".
How he could be meltingly sweet:
"I wanted to show her off tonight. Stand in front of all of our friends, loop my arm around her waist, say, "Do you see? This one's mine." At the same time, I wanted to barricade us behind locked doors and under cozy blankets, press her hand to my chest, and say, "Do you see? This one's yours."
His issues made it hard for him to express himself and his biting tongue didn't make it easy to talk to him. Not that Sara had a clue as to what was happening to his feelings!
And Sara, Shap, Shappiro- she had her own issues, some struck home with me and some felt like page filler, but overall I enjoyed this story. Interesting twist with the intestinal issues and causes. The ending felt a little flat but I understood why after Sara explained what she needed. And her Aha moment.

Sebastian & Sara
Read this for Grey's Anatomy vibes, enemies to forced proximity via therapy to lovers, he falls first and harder, FMC has enough baggage to fill a small private jet, and found family
Sara is a Cristina Yang/Meredith Grey hybrid, Sebastian is a Mark Sloan/Owen hybrid (I think, hard to really pin down) and her friend Alex is 100% Lexie Grey (rip)
I love this book so much, it's my go to slump cure

finally! stremmel's book.
i loved that there was no trauma to explain stremmel's moods, it was just the way that he was and i adored the way he softened for shap.

i did not expect to have such a good time with this. i thought the mmc was going to be an alpha-hole and that's not my preference but he wasn't! this was enemies to lovers done pretty well. i enjoyed seeing representation for someone who struggles with gastrointestinal stuff and how that affects relationships and being able to build them with people.
