Enjoyed it a lot, though Nicholas was such a weeny for so long. Also would've liked a bit more resolution on some things, although I just now realized the next books are about the other people in their families, so I'm not as miffed. Also, everyone needs an Aunt Maile.

Strong contemporary romance with a dynamic couple at its center and a larger complex family situation with multiple layers.

Lots of intensity and feels in this Romeo & Juliet feuding families/lovers torn apart as youngsters romance. Not quite as much on the character front as I usually like, but the BIG FEELS make up for the loss. And an interesting thread about mental health issues, too, and how decisions about self-care play into one's romantic choices.

So good! I loved the characters and the story and the slow unfolding. I did find at times the writing felt clunky and I had to reread to ensure clarity.
