4.0

The first third of this book is the sweet rom com I was expecting— but then the book arcs into something more real, tender, sad, and emotional. I love a good romance novel; but this was more than that. It was an ode to self care versus caring for others, learning limits the hard way, the difficult of setting boundaries, and grief. It was a beautiful book and if you need an emotional release this will surely give it to you. More than any other romance this “happily ever after” is realistic and bitter sweet.
