I highly recommend going into this one with as little information as possible. That being said, I won't be sharing much in this review so as not to give anything away.
This book has a truly beautiful found family vibe to it that I absolutely loved. It was filled with complicated friendships that really brought something special to the story. While there was definitely romance in the book, it wasn't at the forefront of the plot. Shockingly, I appreciated that. I say "shockingly" because I'm someone who prefers a strong romance plot more often than not. But it made sense to keep it simple for the sake of this particular storyline.
I cried at least five times while I was reading, which isn't as typical for me. It was a pretty profound book overall with a lot of fantastic elements. Oh, and while it does handle more challenging topics, there is a cheerful ending.
Truly a fantastic novel. I'll admit that I wasn't the biggest fan ever of If I Never Met You, but after loving Just Last Night so much, I'm very much willing to continue reading her books!
