This debut novel was amazing. I'm a huge fan of forced proximity and did she deliver with this roommate situation. I actually went back and reread some right after finishing. Jack and Sadie will be living rent free in my head for awhile.
I'm trying to keep this spoiler free but be forewarned some of what is below might be...
Jack was so doting and kind. I loved all the little things he did throughout the book.
Sadie was incredible. What she endured to get to where she is was nothing short of impressive. I do wish that the emphasis on therapy would have come up a little more and she would have gotten more help on the pages of the book but that was literally my only tiny wish.
I loved watching Sadie pursue her dream. I loved the text messages.
I loved the friendships.
I loved the progression of the relationship.
If you haven't read this yet I highly recommend!
