And can I say it’s so wholesome that I’ve now read 2 romance books in a row with no explicit spice.

I thought it was a cute and lighthearted read up until the twist... i kept telling myself it felt like a 5* read and how I hoped the twist in the end would be good, so it would stay a 5* read, but I hated the twist. Sure, there were some serious topics in this book, and I liked how the author handled those. But that twist? Rather dark? Even though I had looked at the CW, it felt so out of place? Dramatic and the opposite of cute and lighthearted? The longer I keep thinking about it, the more I want to reduce my rating because of the last bit of the book. I think it's a me thing, though. I wanted something cute and funny, and it was for the most part! Ugh, disappointing.

I will note that while much of this story is lighthearted and funny, it does mention some heavy things associated with grief over a passed family member, topics of domestic violence, and on page kidnapping, a character does receive a gunshot wound, and attempted suicide by a minor character which is stopped. While none of these are very graphic or gory in their description, for the events on page I have labeled their CWs as graphic.
Graphic: Kidnapping, Suicide attempt, and Gun violence
Minor: Domestic abuse, Death of parent, and Death
On page description of kidnapping, and suicide attempt that is not completed. A main character is also shot on page, not a graphic description but does mention blood.karifaye's review against another edition

Suicide attempt near the end of the book when Jack is taken hostage and held at gun point (after he tells Hannah he never liked her) suicide is not successful but it wasn’t hinted at So it comes up pretty quickly without a lot of warning. all the warnings I gave I felt were mild depictions.
