I loved this book. It is funny with complex, multidimensional characters. It examines how pain information our decisions and how we view the world.

This was so fun to read! The romance was set up really nicely and the plot was mostly believable/relatable (up until the very last few pages haha). I thought the discussion of the main character’s parents was a little bit much for me, but I surprisingly liked how the story of January’s dad wrapped up. Regardless, this was an ideal romance novel for me, grumpy male love interest included.
