I thought the ending could have been structured better (SPOILER the trauma reveal at the end of the book felt convoluted) but I enjoyed the rest of the story

I don’t know what exactly I expected to be honest. It’s charming in all the right ways, comfortably predictable, and when I’m having a hard time I could see myself just rereading and rereading and rereading. The humor is perfect, the relationships and characters are just complex enough to subvert a few expectations and the descriptions of grief and self realization are spot on. Such a delightful read.
