Captivated from the beginning, the narrative was so exciting and engaging.
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT BOOK! It played out so well in my head; it felt like I was watching a movie; a kickass med student that has really been put through the wringer with family and her lack of stable love life, pushing herself and her work first and still finding a way to fall in love with a sweet person.
I was in the beginning anti-Rick just because of how things started with them, but damn, he wore me down as he did with Angela.
This story proved the importance of boundaries with family, (while I come from an immigrant family and some experiences were similar, some experiences are wholly Angela's), remembering friendships are give and take and a two-way street and being able to work through obstacles, as well as realizing you can recapture your independence yet still find your person and your passion.
It only lost 1/2 a star because both characters drove me crazy with the back in forth and put me through pain when I wanted them together, but I know it was for them to work in the end entirely.
