This book was kind of a mess. I really disliked one of the love interests, he didn’t seem genuine or have many redeeming qualities, so the two “maybes” weren’t on even footing. It felt like every single noun in this book was paired with an adjective which quickly grew tiresome, and the third act *redacted* felt forced, repetitive, and then wrapped up too easily.

Alison Rose Greenberg is a brilliant writer. She has the ability to break and rebuild my heart over and over in this book. A book hasn’t made me ugly cry in a while. The characters were so relatable, in real relationships that reflect being 35. Second chances, missed timing, young love, new love, being authentically yourself vs potentially fitting a mold of someone else.
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Suicide
