I guess I’m in the minority when I say this book was just fine.
The characters were fine, the writing was fine, the sideplot was fine, everything was just fine.
There was some beautiful moments, I’ll give Beach Read that. Also why Beach Read? There is absolutely no reading at all beach if I remember correctly, mostly writing at beach houses.
Also Gus kept saying that he fell in love with January’s writing. Im sorry, did we read the same snippets of writing?!? Because it was completely bland, a 5th grader could have written better prose.

This book is...

Good for: People who want a contemporary romance with a little bit of spice and a heaping side of grief. Perfect for those trying to learn to love life again.

Not great for: People who want something super lighthearted OR something on the spicy side.

It was kinds boring. At the end i got kind of frustrated with the overall message of the book, it felt very patronizing

I do NOT like cheaters and I hate that the book sort of ended with a “well, you can’t help who you fall in love with 🤷🏻‍♀️” bullshit. Like you can also NOT cheat on your wife 🙄

.

A lot of the book was telling instead of showing, so by the end of the book I didn’t really feel connected to the characters.

The relationship between the main characters was cute, but if I would’ve been her, I would’ve given up on him a long time ago😭.
