We already know this book got an extra point for being gay.
But! That being said it was a fun ride through an easy trope and I found the characters likeable. I wish that we had given any of the plot points more care, it read a bit like fan fiction at times jumping from scene to scene and both Olive and Stella’s only motivator being their dying relatives? I wanted a bit more depth all around.
Overall I had a good time escaping into the story, but that’s where it started and ended for me; being an easy and fun read.

This was a very enjoyable romance. I liked that, unlike many contemporary romances, the "side story"/background of each character was fleshed out and as vibrant and significant as the actual relationship. I also felt the pacing was reasonable and that "third act breakup" wasn't too painful or awkward. I would definitely read more from this author in the future!
