I came in ready for the drunk Vegas marriage romance, I was not expecting such a real and kinda heavy look at how lost you can feel after graduation. Working so hard towards something, having clear cut steps the whole way, and then being thrown out into the professional field is petrifying. Grace was putting up with much more than I would ever have to, so it's no wonder she needed a serious break. Though, if my friend dropped out of contact for a month or more, I would also be angry and worried. This writer has such a beautiful poetic style it really lends itself to Yuki's storytelling, but almost made the relationship feel more scripted than I would expect.

This book starts off with a drunken marriage in vegas. That alone was enough to pull me in, especially because it was with two women. 

I enjoyed the book and I’m very happy that Grace (the main character) was able to work through her problems

with a therapist. However, by the end of the book she still hadn’t told her father about her wife. Wack!

The premise of this story was funny to me, but the story itself was much sadder than I anticipated. I wish we got a little more backstory about the characters before the events of the book, though the intimacy of all their relationships were so clearly illuminated.

This was incredibly beautiful writing and I loved all of the diversity included with that but I had some problems with the pacing where even though this book was under 300 pages, I often felt like I was sloughing through it. The characters also did not feel believable to me which you kinda need for a contemporary novel but it still worked for me personally.

As someone who grew up as a gifted kid with a strict plan, I also struggled in a way that made me "bone tired" and sent me on a spiral after I graduated and my plan didn't work out. I understand what it feels like to feel like you're lost and worthless and selfish. This books hits so hard in all the right ways for people exactly like me.
