This book 🥹 I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would and wish more people would read it, or at least give it a chance!! 

There is a reason this is a five star read. This writing is beautiful, intentional, and meaningful. Each word was written with purpose. Everything in this story; backstory, inner monologue, character, had reason. I LOVED how everything was wrapped up in the end. Of course I cried 😭 Ugh, please read!! 

Last thought, Six-thirty is my favorite character. I highlighted so many of his parts. He is a wise dog.

4.5

This book was really well written and the story was amazing but to be honest... it was a lot. This book is for some reason is marketed as a romance (a fact that the author disagrees with) and it is definitely not, so I did not go into expecting something quite as heavy.  There is plenty of humor as well, but the overall topics and themes are very heavy.  My main reason for deducting to a 4.5 rating is that I think this book should have had trigger warnings in the front. I didn't look them up because of how this book was marketed and I really wish I had known.
