3.5 stars (for Hortensia the pig)
I find it so hard to say anything about this book because about 85% of time I was "meh" about it. I feel like I went into with expectations so high that I conditioned myself that I will eventually give this a 4+ stars. Yet, here we are.
Still, I appreciate the inclusion of mental health in the story. However, I can't speak of accuracy since I do not have firsthand experience with those present in the story (i.e. agoraphobia, fear of crowds). I appreciate how the hero accepted this in the heroine and didn't see it as a flaw by an means.
Overall, I don't hate this book at all. But I don't think I'll recommend it either. If you're a fan of this author duo, I think you'll be inclined to read this. Having read a few other of their works, I can say this is not one of their better creations.
