4.0

The romance is almost the background to Quan and Anna's personal journies with grief and identity, but that makes everything about this story more personal and poignant. Yes, you still get the tender moments and the spice that the other books in the series do so well. But it's really a romance for readers who love character development and self-reflection.

I love this book so much. It was so much sadder than I expected it to be and I would recommend checking the content warnings before reading. Anna and Quan’s love story is so raw and real and I would recommend reading it 100 times over <3
