Great, now I want to rewatch Room With A View.


I almost didn’t finish this one. I got to the part where you know Something Is About To Happen, and honestly if I’d known the thing was cancer ahead of time, I wouldn’t have started it right now. I just can’t really handle stories about illness right now. That being said, I cared about the characters and really wanted things to work out so I finished it and it was worth it.

this was so good. slow burn, mutual pining, all the good stuff. i would’ve liked a slightly heftier epilogue but i can fill in the blanks.

I really “loved” this story. It made me cry a bunch at midnight, I just couldn’t put the book down. It got me right in the feels in all the good ways. It doesn’t happen alot in stories where something awful happens to one of the main, so it was really an unique type of story and very realistic.

This book was kind of a random find, it was so good. Clean romance. I just wish it had been longer because, man, I loved the main characters.
