kfmcf's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I enjoyed the first few chapters of this book before it got really soapy. This book also takes place over the course of two years (refreshing), but Hannah (FL) does not have ANY character growth and we spend the majority of the time seeing her in a toxic relationship. It's odd.
There's also a lot of alcohol and fat phobia and I have to suspend a lot of disbelief at the ending.
I think this book too a little too much autobiographical aspects from the author's relationship overall. Also, no reason for Davey's POV to just appear 100 pages in. Totally unnecessary and muddle Hannah's thru line.

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.
