I cried way too much for this to feel like a great romance. And I definitely feel for the characters but this book definitely needs trigger warnings and a new marketing campaign.

Vibes: 1
I really liked this book, though the contemporary romances and the writing style are not my favorite. The portrayal of loss, grief, depression, and the love two people can have for each other was raw and real, and I even got a little verklempt in a few spots. It was truly refreshing to read a story where the man not only did the emotional work but outwardly respected his female partner for being the first to do hers. Definitely mind the warnings for grief, depression, and miscarriages because this book does not shy away from the characters' journey with all of these (and it does so beautifully).
Spice: 3 🌶️
The handful of spicy scenes were HOT even if they were tame kink-wise (though there were some shenanigans in public places 😈) because the characters' passion for the other made was just so strong.
Tropes: second chance, only one bed, no strings attached
