This book has been on my TBR for AGES!!! I finally bit the bullet and boy did it deliver. This book is quirky, lighthearted, and funny but also reflective and a story on unrequited love. It’s more complex than most other rom-coms. There were parts where I was royally pissed off at the character but it all worked out in the end. I recommend! I look forward to reading her next book

this book gripped me by the throat and would not unhand me for days after I finished it. I laughed, I sobbed. Molly is my baby I love and adore her so much. I loved the way the present and past were weaved together without feeling out of place. definitely one of my favorites of the year!

Picked this up at the library on a whim and finished it in one evening. The story itself was sweet but the story it’s wrapped around made me cry big sobs and my heart just clenched. Also had solid 70’s music references. As a very weird extrovert into that era of music, I related to Millie so much.

This was such a sweet listen. The characters were incredibly lovable. I also felt like this book handled big topics, like queer love, death, and relationship trauma in a way that made them less scary even though they were very real.

Okay there’s a bunch of great things about this book.
1. The banter is amazing
2. Phenomenal grumpy-sunshine!
3 a fantastic road trip journey
4. Really great wonky side trips
5. The resolution
But other things were so frustrating!
1. Millie is so frustrating with, what she says herself, is “willfull misunderstanding.” It’s too much, and it’s the WHOLE BOOK of her being like “hey this is how this person is acting” and then saying “but I’m sure they’re not being truthful/misleading me/im not understanding” and it really took me out of it (probably because I was listening?)
2. The third act breakup. I listened and things were going well with 1.5 hours left and I knew I was in for it. I really was so frustrated by how this all went down.
So yeah, overall really enjoyed but the things that didn’t work for me nearly overshadowed the fun and emotion.
