A romance. Set in a fictional beachside town in western Michigan. I got homesick reading about it. Yeah, the two author characters are fine and, yay, they fall in love.

Really enjoyed the story and it kept me hooked, but thought it got repetitive at times and focused more than it needed to on their physical connection.

I don’t understand the hype around this book… it was a cool premise, but I found the characters depressing and their relationship to be toxic. I also didn’t like how their relationship was hinged mainly around sarcastic conversation. Again, just not healthy and overall seemed more like a trauma bond. Not a fault with the author or the book necessarily, but maybe just not my cup of tea. Definitely not a rom com if that’s what you’re looking for/expecting when going into this book like I was. It’s more in the straight fiction genre with a romance subplot. 

I did like the author’s note at the end. It made a little more sense of her headspace for the book.
