Phenomenally well written, but warnings for LOTS of on-page struggles through grief & trauma rooted in the FMC’s sister unaliving herself by jumping in front of the MMC’s car when they were all teenagers. Layered on top of that are the FMC’s immigrant parents and the distant relationship they all have with each other… I know it sounds like Entirely Too Much, but the MCs felt SO believable and true. The setup felt intense, but deftly managed.

I've been wanting to read this since I heard about it some months ago. It was cute! This is another book that I unfortunately took a long time to read and that's because there were days I wasn't reading. Which is normal. When I first started this book, I was hooked, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Then I got in a short slump and when I picked up the book again, I wasn't turning the pages as fast as I was. So perhaps if I read this with no week-long periods where I'm not reading anything, I would've loved this more than I did. However, I still enjoyed this book, and Grant Shepherd *Starletta DuPois voice in Waiting to Exhale* is a good man.
