I honestly went into this book not really knowing what to expect and ended up really enjoying it! The more I read the more I realize how much I love a story that is romance & women’s fiction. I thought this story concept was so unique, and the author did a good job depicting grief and depression in an authentic way while also putting lots of time and emphasis on finding the joy in life. Henry was absolutely perfect, and I really really loved his character. The end of the book kind of fell apart a little bit for me with spice and the conflicts between the characters. But overall, I enjoyed this story, the characters, & the NYC setting!
Content: strong frequent language, open door scenes (258-260, 262-266, 268, 279), homosexual side characters

This was a delicious friends to lovers summer romp that is for the lover girls in their sad girl summer era. This romance discusses how you find love after loss, and how you find yourself again, your passion. I loved getting to see Bennet and Henry, two messy, broken people, as most of us are, find such a true friendship, deep connection, and eventually love. Their chemistry was alight from the very first interaction! Henry had me giggling and kicking my feet on many occasions. I loved the idea of the Passion Project as well, going out and trying a new thing every week! It was so beautiful to see Bennet find her chosen family in NYC and create this beautiful, yet imperfect life for herself. I related to Bennet’s worries and anxieties SO MUCH, and seeing someone with those anxieties find love feels like therapy, I love it so much. Overall, I highly recommend this book!! I think it would also make a great movie!!

Side note: the user “iamanahita” on Spotify has an EXCELLENT playlist for this book!
