Now one of these stars is for pure vibes, because as Dark as this book was— there are some heavy themes and TW should be read— I loved this so much. 
PROPER yearning!
ACTUAL slow burn!
MCs who are smart generally but dumb about their feelings/the others feelings about them are so endearing.
I’m invested in the side characters, and while I felt the pacing was perhaps a bit off— the last third of the book I couldn’t put down and was close to burning dinner while distracted by it.
I’ve loved her other books, and heard of the fanfic, so I had high hopes for this and now I’m riding the high of having hopes fulfilled.
Can’t believe that we have a year to wait! And probably longer for her next contemporary! Gah! 
slow-paced
