THE BAD: This book was a five-star until chapter 25. I hate the miscommunication trope, and it went on for far too long. 🙄 Also, this book is so dang long, and it doesn't need to be. I also would have liked more smut. 🤷🏻♀️
Favorite quote: "We're all a little broken, Briana. We are a mosaic. We're made up of all those we've met and all the things we've been through. There are parts of us that are colorful and dark and jagged and beautiful. And I love every piece of you. Even the ones you wish didn't exist."

Review: I loved many things about this book. Briana and Jacob have an easy chemistry and togetherness and the themes of promising to be harmless to someone really resonated with me. The book also had many truly laugh out loud moments (Jacob’s perfect interjection of catchphrases, iykyk). I appreciated how developed the families of the characters were and the inclusion of all the little daily joys (taking care of plants, bringing a loved one a meal) that make up a life. That was really lovely. And Jacob is donating a kidney to Briana’s brother. That’s so incredible. 🥹
Things that bothered me
*I did read an advanced copy so the final version may differ.
