I absolutely adore this book. I can't even explain how much.
I read this book because I saw it had a fanfiction trope and i needed a silly light read. It's pretty self-explanatory that a book with this prompth will be cute, and it is in many ways. I love the dynamics of having to get to know your wife, specially when you don't live in the same city. Their funny little chats with each other. That they joke of divorce and wills. I do that with my best friend that I'm kinda married to. And with my best friend I am married to. They also have these cute and reflective phone calls that just warms my heart.
I love all the friends in this book the most, they're extremely well written, dimensional characters. Found family as far as the eye can see. She makes me want better friends. The way book shows platonic love is gorgeous. Platonic love in books, and in real life is very underrated. The language used makes you warm when you read it. Some would call it sickly-sweet, but it's balanced by real life struggles.
Grace as a character are extremely relatable to me, how she's so focused on the path and finishing your degree and then to realise when you are on the other side that you don't know what to do now. How that can really affect you mentally, I see myself in that, specially since she's experiencing it as a 29 year old.
So, even though I went into this book thinking I would just read a lighthearted-book with a fanfic trope, and it definitely was a lot more than that, it was an amazing read.
The whole book just makes me feel bigger than myself. Read it!
