I really enjoy EH’s writing. It’s not the typical all sweet rom-com at all. This one is a bit dark and twisty. I read it in one sitting. I enjoyed it and would have given it 3* , but I stumbled upon a 1* review and when I read it I was like “oh yeah… all those critiques are true.”  

There was a lot of repetition about Gus’s eyes, his messy crumpled clothes etc. I wonder if she did a bunch of the descriptions to just add bulk to the book.

.25 for the miscommunication and another .25 for not being able to name either of their private parts. the synonyms kinda bothered me. 
but, overall, the premise was very well executed, as promised. i did have high hopes going into this and it did not disappoint. i bawled my eyes out towards the end. I loved, i haven’t read a romance book in a while and this was perfect.

A solid happy/grumpy trope romance novel — it incorporates real-life topics like divorce, grief, and loss, making it a more realistic romance novel rather than a happily ever after/everything is perfect vibe

It took me a while to finish the book, mainly because I didn't find it very interesting. I had to read about 50 % of thr book to really care about what was going on. The topic in the book were pretty dark and depressing but thing definitely picked up after 50% of the book.
