Honestly, I didn't think there was a lot of character development. While I loved both characters, and while they each did grow a little, I don't think they grew soso much. I was disappointed that
I do love a queer romance, and in that way, this book totally delivered. While I have some criticisms, I would totally recommend it for someone who loves reading romance and who loves queer stories. I particularly appreciate that all of the families in this book were at least base line accepting of their children's queer identities and familial hate was NOT a central theme of the book. Huge plus for me!

I skipped 100 pages in the middle. It's deeply sad and anxiety-producing amidst stalker tendencies, family feuds over a loved one's final wishes, and sexism. Are the depictions of those things accurate? Yes. Are they a great space to foster or provoke romcom plotlines? Not really.
There are also some cruel things said to one another that they gloss over to get to the ending, and I don't love that.
Mostly I'm sad, disgruntled, and unsatisfied, and need to go calm down.
