That said, the melodrama heightened pretty quickly and I found myself wincing more and more as I neared the end. I really don't like miscommunication (or lack of communication) as a plot device, and so I wanted to shake January by the shoulders multiple times to get her to stop her ruminating. Things went from cheesy in a self-aware way to just plain cheesy; it's like the story set itself up to prove that the romance genre had more to offer beyond stereotypes, and then it...didn't do that.

1. Despite being a romance book, it doesn't feel like eating pure sugar. By including Gus's character, Henry creates a world that is, at times, truly awful -- and yet the characters manage to earn their happy ending anyway.
2. A spectacularly creative premise, grounded in realistic experience
3. The wonderful emotional hurt/comfort scenes that hit all the notes
