The saving grace of this book was how good the romance was. Like, that's the whole point, but the plot itself was really stupid at times and I didn't feel like I got closure with so much that was going on.

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted tense medium-paced

3.5

Not my favorite Zapata read—but I still enjoyed it for sure. I had trouble putting it down like I do other Zapata reads, but it really didn’t feel like a lot happened in this 600+ page book. It burned a bit too slow for me this time.

There main trigger warnings are running factors throughout the book so if you get especially triggered by them I wouldn’t recommend reading this book. However if this doesn’t really trigger you in a bad way, I would say it is very reflective and educational to read about this different type of grief and neglect and development that time can bring.
