this book was fine, except for the fact that the two main characters’ refusal to actually communicate about their feelings and relationship made up the bulk of the romantic subplot’s conflict. i hate the miscommunication trope in romance novels. this is the only reason i responded “no” to the loveable characters question — i found their refusal to just talk incredibly irritating.
also TW for a third-act pregnancy which just gave me the ick as well (i have nothing against those who do want kids but i prefer not to read romances with pregnancy/parenthood in them).
other than that the romance was sweet enough, and the story was interesting.

I liked it a lot but the descriptions didn't sit right with me, specifically about disability. Some of the words used.

This is was an unrelentingly bleak story full of mostly unlikable characters, almost nothing that could be described as actual romance (plus very limited interactions between the FL and ML during the entirety of the story), and an ending that could barely even qualify as HFN due to how abrupt and open-ended it was.
I really enjoyed this author’s first book, but I honestly regret ever picking this one up.
