The characters were frustrating at times but overall I enjoyed this book! The plot was interesting and unique. I would’ve rated it higher if it didn’t have so much diet culture bullshit.

I thought this would be just a cute fluffy romance, but it ended up a lot more emotional than expected. There is also a lot of introspection and self discovery along the way. An apt comparison would be Just One Day by Gayle Forman, but for an older audience. I really enjoyed it.

An accidental wrong number starts a chain of messages that turns them from strangers into friends and then to … well, they need to figure that out for themselves.
This one is a little tricky to review. I don’t want to say too much and give anything away but simply yelling "YOU NEED TO READ THIS" and leaving it at that *probably* isn’t the best review technique.
The book starts out nice and cozy and sweet, and I *could* have stayed in that bubble. It was a good bubble, a happy bubble, a bubble full of anticipation. The story had other plans though, and - since I couldn’t hardly put it down - sent me on a quick emotional rollercoaster.
Pretty sure I felt every single emotion at some point.
I regret nothing. Except maybe not hydrating well enough to cover tear related loss. But listen, people cry for all sorts of reasons. You just need to read this for yourself to find out which ones apply here.
Thank you to NetGalley/Random House Ballantine for the ARC
(pretty sure I’ll be needing a physical copy of this one when when it comes out in November!)
