That was a sweet, mostly hopeful book. I expected it to take a dark turn and it didn’t, which I’m happy about!

This was a nice read. She worked with sensitivity readers and it landed well. The dedication is what drew me in (something like “For anyone who thought Jess was Rory’s best boyfriend.”) and I’m glad I tried it. The characters were lovable, the scenario felt real, and I just love a read where the communication isn’t just awful. They were actually pretty open considering the situation. Would indeed recommend for a quick, lovely book.

This was super sweet and was definitely enjoyable. Definitely insta-love, at least on one side, but the progression of feelings for both MMC and FMC felt pretty rushed. 

If there was a bit more development of the emotional attachment between the two MCs then this would have been a 5 star read.
