Absolutely loved this book the characters were beautiful and although you could sort of guess little bits of the characters past it wasn’t enough to ruin the book and the ending was lovely

Suicide attempt near the end of the book when Jack is taken hostage and held at gun point (after he tells Hannah he never liked her) suicide is not successful but it wasn’t hinted at So it comes up pretty quickly without a lot of warning. all the warnings I gave I felt were mild depictions.

Loved this one. There were so many scenes of Jack and Hannah just talking, spending time together, and growing their connection, and that’s what sets Katherine Center apart from other romance writers who gloss over those types of interactions. I wish there had been more chemistry/steam - for most of the book I was never really sure if they were going to end up together or if she would just end up happy with herself, or someone new toward the end of the book.

I LOVED the narrative voice of this book. The way the story is told made the story and the characters come alive. Also, I love a little bit of snark in a narrator's voice. So many beautiful moments sprinkled throughout a funny, delightful story. I don't remember the last time I stayed up too late to read a book. I think I "just one more chapter-ed" myself a dozen times before I actually went to bed.
