I would add a moderate content warning for cults/religious trauma if that was an option.cwallace1005's review against another edition

I was charmed by it :)
Maybe it's the English-major/writer in me, but I loved the premise of this book. January and Gus are two writers (fairly successful in their own genres) having writer's block and they come up with a competition to get over it. Again, totally my style because I thrive on competition, especially if it has a deadline. I liked their banter, for the most part, and I thought they were well-written and had significant development for a novel in a genre that isn't known for its deep character development. There were several heavy topics in the books. January's struggle with her memories of her dad are especially poignant and relatable. Some of the "romantic" scenes were a little forced or awkward, but it didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the book.
