I absolutely LOVED this book! It did a great job at tying in a swooning romance and a realistic mental health/relationship struggle all in one. There was a good mix of traditional traditional “romantic” moments (nothing too cringy) combined with a very real edge where I could truly see Emma and Justin’s story playing out in real time. I appreciate a book that is rooted in human struggle, but can come out on the other side with a happy ending that doesn’t seem too stretched. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book, especially Emma, Justin, and Maddy. Justin was the epitome of a perfect male lead, and now I want one for myself 🤣. A great summer read that also made me appreciate the state of Minnesota. Highly recommend!!

Wow! What a rollercoaster! I loved it! It was complicated and real. The characters make so many difficult decisions that require sacrifice to do what is right for the people they love. 
And a very realistic look at trauma responses and how healing is hard but possible if you find the resources and can do the work.

Much love to these characters I just want to give them all a big hug! 💜🦄

I was hesitant going into this book because I didn’t love Yours Truly, the second installment of this character series. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how great this book was! It had everything you want in a rom com; a funny meet cute, witty banter, and emotionally meaningful moments (please see: “What are you thinking?” “I’m always thinking of youI”, “I feel like I’m asking too much when I need something.” “You’re not asking too much…just the wrong person. Ask me instead.”, “I called you because I knew you’d come.”) But it also had a deeply moving depiction of the different ways we deal with family relationships and childhood trauma. I related so much to the main characters’s conversations about anger versus empathy and the way that both of those reactions can be helpful and harmful in different situations. I really loved Emma’s character arc and the way that she handled becoming the adult that she needed as a child. Justin was a corny but cute male lead, and I loved the way he showed up for his family despite being angry with his mom. Lastly, the friendships in this book were so well written. I loved  Maddy and the way she protected and pushed Emma, and I also loved Brad (even though the dog thing was confusing with the same names) and Benny and the intimacy that was portrayed in their friendship with Justin. This book has redeemed my experience with this author’s work and I will keep reading some of her backlog!
