Perhaps the only decently done love triangle trope I've read in a while! I appreciate StoryGraph giving trigger warnings for content; it allowed me to actually enjoy the book while bracing for a twist. That said, while I appreciate a #MeToo moment, I felt like the character’s experiences were used as justification for her “missing the window” with one of the MMCs, which I didn’t care for — she shouldn’t be with him because he wasn’t right for her, which felt only half-acknowledged. The book was beautifully written, but the characters also felt a little too perfect, almost Disney-fied. Still made me cry though!
