A romance novel that stands out because it doesn't romanticize anything. This book follows two protagonists who have undergone significant trauma as they meet, suffer through more painful life events, and take on all the gory, unglamorous parts of life together. I wasn't sure about it at first, as it's pretty heavy for a rom com, but it grew on me as the characters did. If you want to read this, definitely check the triggers first.
Graphic: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Excrement, Vomit, Death of parent, and Abandonment
Minor: Car accident
