The romance was sweet and slightly slow-burn, which I approve of. I say slightly because straight away you could tell that our male MC was way more into her than she was into him.
This surely is due to the emotional baggage both protagonists are carrying, I want to say it's traumatic even, but still, I fell Justin found his voice, his emotions almost too quickly. It's like...at points you as the reader are wondering what he even sees in Emma.
Deductions for the descriptions of Emma's 'getting small' - her and her friend were immediately on J's case to figure out if he was a red flag but when did Emma seek counselling to work through her traumatic life experience and stop projecting?
Extra point for the pet in the story.

Also I hate the inane phrasemongering in these books. „Love shows up.“ „Love is meeting someone where they are.“ idk how about some original writing?
Only reason this is getting stars at all is because it has a semblance of structure and the characters don’t all blend together (only because their only personality are the issues they have.)
tl;dr this pissed me off. Cover is great though.
edit: took another 0.5 because the premise is so fun but it’s more or less abandoned in the first 100 pages
