I keep hoping Beth’s books will be something they’re not! This one has a looooot of trauma weaved through out. A lot of depression and toxic relationships and substance abuse and mania and stalking and like, it is still funny in parts and she does show the dangerous of those things and how the characters have to grow and apologize but it’s just a bit too heavy for a romcom? It’s too real life and that is unfortunately it’s flaw. I want escapism! Also. No sex.
