Note: I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
By far the most refreshing part of this book is the realism put into these characters, their maturity (and occasional lack of), and their emotional depths. As someone who fits into some of the target demographics (mid 20’s Jew here :)), I very much enjoyed the callbacks to Jewish sleep away camps, from Maccabiah to sneaking out at night.
The one part of this story that I disliked was how the passing of time was often ambiguous and hard to follow, aside from whenchapters included meeting notes or holidays occurred. While I believe this may have been intentional by the author, it is not a choice I personally like which is why I give this book a 4.5.
I would recommend this book to those in their mid-20’s who want a romance story of childhood lovers to enemies to friends to lovers. While there is a dollop of angst along the way, this is ultimately a story of two beautiful souls finding each other again.
