I thought this would be insightful, cute, and steamy like Hoang's other novels - and it was, but it was also the hardest hitting book I've read this year.

Spoiler

Anna having to suddenly become a caregiver for her ill father and experiencing caregiver burnout is a huge theme in the back half of this book. My own father had a stroke six months ago and while he is able to mostly care for himself, I found myself thrust into a role I hadn't prepared for. This book cared so lovingly for Anna even when she couldn't care for herself.

This book brought out way too many emotions, in the best way possible.

Felt like a breath of fresh air after the bride test omfg, the emotion in this book is greatly written and makes you want to sob like a baby. The end did feel rushed and kind of made the book unsatisfying.
