Slow start, beautiful ending, perfect title. 

It was a bit predictable and chapters felt a bit repetitive at times, especially if you're the type of reader that can easily foreshadow what happens next. But it was well written, all characters were lovable and I especially enjoyed Nora staying true to her self the whole time.

Soooooo the book overall has a really happy vibe. I loved delving into both character's personalities, and found the writing of the characters overall consistent. The banter was over-the-top for how people generally speak which certainly took away from the book.
However, the bigger issue I have is that I hate reading about terrible mental health rep. All the characters disregard how unwell they are as "the way it is" which it doesn't need to be. Further, the main relationships were just absolutely toxic and I'm tired of hearing about unhealthy dynamics.

Such a beautiful story! Loved Charlie so so much, but I secretly wish
Nora and Charlie would've stayed in North Carolina to all be together - just my opinion!
