The author didn’t put a trigger warning so here are some without giving too much away:
- depression
- suicidal thoughts
- parental death
- spousal death
- infertility
- infertility loss
I am sure I missed some but these were too intense not to give at the very beginning.
I actually really enjoyed this story. Although it started off pretty dark, the character development of the FMC was told in a very captivating way. I enjoyed people watching and interacting with different relatable people in all walks of life. Kind of crazy to read about a time that we all lived in not to long ago. It became a hopeful story. The banter and wit between the FMC and some characters were very enjoyable as well.

The beginning of this book was shocking and a bummer and almost put me off of continuing, but I figured it had to get better with all of the glowing reviews. And it did. It was so insightful about people. I felt like my own flaws and quirks and personality were being expertly laid out in some aspect of each character. I’m going to be thinking about this one for awhile. It made me laugh out loud and also made me tear up, but it was beautiful. Take care with the great detail about suicide and depression that are outlined.
I liked that the love story was left open-ended and implied because the journey was really about her.

A solid six stars. I love this book so much, even down to the author thanking strangers for acknowledging her when she didn't feel like she mattered. I went into this knowing nothing about the plot and assuming it was a lighthearted romance or romcom, but it was so much deeper, with great characters. I laughed aloud at some of the dialogue and teared up at others. I wish I could go back and read this again for the first time.

I only read this because my sister recommended it. I'm glad I chose to listen to her because I'm emotionally wrecked now. I need to check out other works by this author because I absolutely loved this book.
