bookishinseattle's review against another edition
5.0
Y’all I don’t even know where to start with this book.
I loved this book so much that my husband read the book directly after I finished, probably because I talked about it nonstop for an entire day.
I had a major book hangover after this one. Much like how I used to not talk about how I read romance novels, I also didn’t speak about having GAD. It used to be something that I was ashamed of, primarily due to the stigma of mental health. Dealing with GAD is not an easy feat. I have seen it portrayed in other stories, but never quite like this. This portrayal was so raw and so accurate for me. I found myself completely immersed in this story and seriously seeing myself reflected in Aidan and understanding his anxiety. I found myself relating to Aiden and his thought process so much. I saw myself and my worries in him. I saw so many beautiful similarities to my own marriage and in my own thoughtful husband.

I really wanted to like like it, but the characters took ages to like, and I hated the pranks and the clown was terrifying.
